How do we feel about raw crystallized gold? The specimen weighs just under 22g with the quartz rock, so a very rough calculation is about 12-14g of gold content. Not as practical for stacking lol, but something different for sure!
I'm not trying to "collect" the different bar designs Costco sells, but this one is just too cool. Most of the pics and vids I see online aren't great for some reason but damn, this effect is so effing cool in person!
Some pics from a recent trip to Lava Beds NM. Never even knew about this place until a few years ago, and finally got out there. A lot of crazy lava tubes to explore, and some "above ground" hiking as well. Definitely worth the trip to Nowhere, CA!
Included with chlorite and hematite, jacketed with siderite. Love how the siderite coating is only on one side.

Took several years to acquire all of these, and most were purchased before prices exploded in the past year or so.
My skin is doing pretty well for my age, though the skin on the back of my hands is starting to look crepey. I know there are retinol lotions available for non-face skin, but what about using straight tret on the back of hands? Not sure if it's a waste or a generally bad idea to apply it all over my hands. I haven't tried a retinol lotion so maybe that's a better way to start vs going right to pure tret.
