Hardest turquoise I have ever cut! Very rare black spiderweb turquoise

I found this turquoise chunk a few years back in Nevada in a

dried up creek bed. Only a small hint of blue was showing, lucky it was a sunny

day or I would have miss it. Followed the creek into the near by canyon to look for the mother load,

to no avail. Next year plan on returning to look for her again.

The stone weight was about 800 grams when I found it including the host stone.

After grinding it down, I was left with less than 300 grams.

Global warming!

This is the view you could expect to see every year at Portage Lake.

Calving chunks of ice the size of three story homes or bigger,

all over the lake 20 years ago. But now you can't even see Portage Glacier

without taking a boat ride for one hour. 

Global warming believe it! 

Freedom in the sky!

40 hours flying time in four days solo!

Solo flying, following the Rocky Mountains to Alaska.

During the night I would sleep under the plane. 

One of my best adventures, in my Taylor Craft airplane.
