And the prize of the day! A beryllium crystal.... I never seem to see the lack of wonderment in our forefathers... They had the same interests and the love of nature as us.... Time has just moved on...... You never know what you are gonna dig up![8D]

Hey Jim, There was probably some zink residue in the bottom of the mold that caused the weird coloration. Looks like mid 1860s to about the mid 1870s.
