@nat-expressions recently started a weekly challenge called #fridaysrock! And while Friday's really do rock, the challenge is to share your favorite rocks and minerals.
Today I want to share my slab of Tiffany Stone that was cut by my favorite and very generous rock hound friend @rt395. I learned from Erik that Tiffany Stone is very rare.
Isn't it a great color?
Also called Opal Fluorite, Tiffany Stone is only found at one location on Earth, on Spor Mountain, in the Brush-Wellman mine in Utah. It's a remote location on the border of the Utah Badlands
I believe Erik still has some Tiffany Stone for sale in his Etsy shop.

Tailings piles are my kind of rock hunting... I have never liked being underground! Even tunnels on the highway freak me out! 🙄

Tailings are good places to search, I see alot of people doing that at Graves Mountain. Hah yeah tunnels can kill, I try to stay out of areas that can cave in.
