I’m home, here is the rock haul minus one thing because I ran out of space!
Somewhere far away, beyond the horizon, in the endless ocean where not a single shark can swim, but for a ship this is certain death, there is a silent figure. Silver veins intertwine into a pensive face with five cavities in which round irises are barely visible, as faded as the ghost of a moon disc in the fog. The black diadem mercilessly breaks low-flying clouds. Native Silver is biding its time, letting the ancient waters cradle their colossal wings. What is it waiting for?

Native Silver
Locality: Kongsberg Mine, Kongsberg, Buskerud, Norway, Europe
Size: 1.8 × 1.4 × 1.2 cm
Native silver sculpture As the heated waters of the deep earth forced their way into the spaces in the rock through which they were percolating, they encountered a different chemistry, forcing them to precipitate their cargo of precious metal into the joints of the surrounding gangue. The result resembles something one might see in an ethnographic museum, filled with artefacts from different world cultures, rather than the creation of our wonderful planet that it actually is. The specimen was mined at Batopilas, in the in the Chihuahua province of Mexico in 1968, and measures 5.1 x 3.5 x 3.2 cm . Loz Image credit: Joe Budd/Rob Lavinsky/iRocks.com
