very unexpected! - 1/21/2012 8:46:30 PM    rockbot Posts: 3477 Joined: 6/17/2009 From: Hilo, Hawaii Status: offline Digging never gets old and the stuff keeps getting stranger. Today I didn't dig a single intact bottle! but I got something quite unexpected and unusually around these parts. For lack of a better word I'm calling this one a stalactite. Not in the traditional sense, as this is not formed by mineral deposits in a solution and dripping over time. This is formed in a lava tube/cave that fills with molten rock, recedes and refills over and over. Thats the best I could come up with! It has to come from a source of really hot stuff, like right next to a volcano. Someone must have broken this off and it eventually made its way to the bottom of this privy. At list its something new to add to my stone collection!

It looks like someone spray painted it a metallic silver, its sparkles in the sun. Most lava around here is very black and the shiny stuff has that oil drop in water sheen to it. _____________________________ " Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason" Samuel Clemens (in reply to Wheelah23) Post #: 8
