[Colmaca]

I may as well post since

WalnLiz may not see this before he comes back in 2 months

I promised to make a copper rock clock out some rock I got in the mine

Stage 1 has been done since I cut the rock, it was about 400mm X 200 I chopped 2 slices off it about 20mm thick . Not a lot copper in, small vein , looks cool but . Quartz

I'll take picture tomorrow since I forgot :8

I have the miner I going to place on the rock came in mail yesterday photo below

Stage 2 next this week , to do , join rocks , apply clear coat a few times drilling hole for clock glue the miner dude to rock

I think I should put a plaque on it need ideas from all here what to put on it

2 km, is that vertical Nice sample of stone Col. Lucky you to have access to cutters.... I have access to a Black marble quarry that has some nice rock, I should hire a cutter and grab a sample.

yes Mount Isa goes near 2 km under . most the copper ore is in black rock maybe I'll ask the Geologists what sort rock the black is

The gold rim on the clock and the silver miner look realy good with the rock colour Great job
You would make more money selling them than your gold finds Col I don't know how much you find though
