Ultraviolet and Near Infrared Photography - Boulders and Rocks at Graves MountainsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #bouldersunday • 6 years ago

I found many large stones with exotic patterns in them, though these stones were huge. A boulder like the one below is probably 500 pounds. And since power tools are not allowed good luck breaking that thing open. Some people will chisel parts off, but require special tools for these hard rocks.

These are my photos for #bouldersunday initiated by @shasta

Though there were many small rocks that you could easily crack open with a good hand tool. So most people stick to those, or dig into fresh dirt around Graves Mountain.

    Yeah they do have a trippy look, I see what you mean. Hah no problem, most people are looking for Rutile at Graves Mountain though thats very rare. So most find kyanite, lazulite or iridescent hematite.

    OK added

          I did alot of hiking in the mountains of California. But not much hunting or rockhounding. Got into rocks once I moved to Georgia more.
