[FISHSLAYERMARRBLEGRIFF]

I was playing out in the glass section of my shop,busting up some akro oxblood,and what did I find?--------THESE!!----Inside the chunk of oxblood.The largest is just under 1/8 inch.

Neat!

Took me a minute or 10 to figure out the "not so micro-crystalline" part of the title. *embarrassed* Those are some cool little bits.

I have a 20 pound lump of copper from the bottom of the MF Christensen furnace. The copper flowed into a furnace brick joint and solidified.

Griff, I have a pound or so of raw copper from the piles at the copper mine in the upper pennisula of Michigan. I wonder what we could do with it?

Arsenic discharge,copper dust,fire flash.There was something else.Been a while,and there was so much to remember,back when,,,,,,,well,thats all I can say.

I was playing around with a couple small pieces,and the "bb's",all came out of one,that was the solid,brick colored,with limited,striations.Didnt find any,in the ox,with black/green.

To summarize,,,,KOOOOOL
