REDNECK ORE SAMPLING (LIMESTONE)

[bahabully]

If there is any rock type we are not short of around here it is LimeStone !! Lets take looks. Chose a few samples from creek and chipped a few samples off the hill outcropping.

The reds, blues and yellows were interesting.

The crushed rocks, both samples DID NOT like HCL... made a bloody nasty black gooey mess and nearly completely dissolved. I've heard TN limestone was among the most pure calcium rich in the world... Smelled like 10M year old dinosaur poo, or grease mixed with septic discharge.

Nearly all dissolved after a day

Rinsed off and into AR... Still an ugly mess.

Combined these two petrochemical limestone stinking samples into one filtered solution. I am fully expecting to precipitate 10,000 year old sea monky's later this week.
Filtered and added 1/6-1/4 tsp of Sulfamic (grout cleaner crystals) today. Stirred actively until most dissolved, few bubbles, not much.

Will test with Stan in the 'morrow and then SMB and allow to sit until Friday or so.

I'm ok with that Ygg. I just wanted to partition them into "rock type" for easy indexing should folks ever have a rock sample they wish to match up to see how the TN version of the rock sampled out. Completely understand if you merged to reduce the foot print.

Nothing of note to report for results. Copper is cementing a good bit in this waste solution. The shinny cent was added 30 seconds prior to photo and is already turning black.
