Rain gave way to sunshine,
a perfect day for exploring
a geological point of interest:
The "World's Largest
Exposure of Quartz Conglomerate."
 |
| "Bottle Tree" in parking lot |
But first, a meander through the
Gem and Mineral Show.
Quite a few vendors tempted
with crystals and polished
rocks, lots of pretties.
I mostly resisted temptation though.

| Top surface of conglomerate rocks |
The lumpy weathered tops of the rocks
looked like buckled, cracked asphalt.
 |
| Close-up of quartz pebbles embedded in rock matrix |
 |
| Interesting corridors |
 |
| Tight passes |
 |
| Striking eroded pock marks |
 |
| Very neat stack |
 |
| Unexpecting sighting |
