Pallay Punchu, one of the hidden rainbow mountains of Cusco, Peru, where the Andes paint their own colours.

This woven tapestry comes from compressed mineral layers-red claystone, yellow limonite, and green chlorite -- that were formed millions of years ago.

Couldn't find any limonite on Limonite Ave. Very disappointing, wouldn't recommend.
A street sign that says "Limonite". Limonite is sorta rusty iron oxide mineral group.

As a sucker for blue-green carbonates, you'll find a lot of smithsonite in my collection. These Kelly Mine examples- including the 9 cm. cabinet specimen and two miniatures - were purchased from Tony Otero of Magdalena, NM.

Three smithsonite specimens, ranging from approx. 2.5 to 9 cm. in longest dimension. Waxy to vibrant luster on this larger specimen, with associated calcite at top. Botroidal Smithsonite coating limonite showing nice chatoyancy Gem-like blebs of smithsonite filling a crevice in limonite

Here's a select few of my favorite self-collected pieces of quartz from last weekend's digs. This haul has it all, including vivid rainbows, hematite phantoms and coatings, limonite coatings, the largest point I've dug, and some of the clearest pieces I've found. 🤩

Other highlights. Nice minerals.
Limonite, it's very rainbow colored. Opal, an iridescent blue green Pyrite, it's a shiny gold colored series of cuboids Elbaite a pink colored mineral reminiscent of pillars.

Could be limonite (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limonite). It offen forms these kinds of bubbly surfaces.

I'll repost to engage more geoscoentists ☺️. Hey #MinCup bubble, what do you think? ⚒️

Heading east to for #TrilobiteTuesday & this nice BIG Paradoxides davidis, from the famous Manuels River Fm nr Manuels, #Newfoundland 🇨🇦. The +ve part (L) & -ve counterpart (R) show a nr complete but partly disarticulated dorsal exoskeleton stained w limonite (scale bar=3 cm); #Cambrian (~503 MYA)
A roughly rectangular slab of dark brown shale has been split open along a bedding plane to expose the nearly complete exoskeleton of a large (~30 cm long) paradoxidid trilobite. On the left side is the positive "part" and on the right is the matching negative "counterpart". On both halves, the exoskeletal remains and impression are naturally coated with a thin orange layer of limonite (a hydrated iron oxide mineral). The thorax and pygidium of the trilobite are intact, although the lengthy pygidia spines are missing their tips. On the part, the cephalon is separated, slightly rotated to the right, and missing portions of the glabella and genal areas revealing the large hypostome and cephalic doublure beneath. A scale bar in the lower left is 3 cm long.
