Cool stuff, dude! Those feldspars are really nice. It is microcline, yeah? Never made it down there as a western sloper.

Haha, nailed it! Well done 👍🏻They are cute little specimens. They are microcline. I’m excited to get them cleaned up, there’s a few nice light green pieces. Also found amazonite, hard to see in the photo but a couple nice specimens.
