[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 523587, member: 1916"] :100: :poop: [b]COMPLETELY INCORRECT [/b] :poop: :100: What you are actually seeing and photographing is the mythical GG Spinel Serpent, the story goes that while slithering through the rocks and boulders of a running stream, it drops its shiny black scales a streaks of shiny gems behind big boulders. As the weather starts to get cooler, their red scales are known to drop off and can sometimes be seen shining brightly in the sun. When the weather gets really cold they retreat underground where their scales turn blue. Warm spring storms awaken the serpent who drops all their blue scales prior to returning to the streams. If you look carefully after a big spring storm, blue scales often come to the surface to shine brightly. Sickness and death awaits those who try to harvest the spinel serpent scales without waiting for them to reveal themselves. [/QUOTE]
