It hides us from everything !
Discovery of a yellow turquoise:
I have discovered them in a hole of five metres in diameter approximately, near the Elk Mountain, in the eastern Wichita Mountains, Oklahoma...
Most of the rocks around the hole are broken into small pieces; you have to walk at least two miles to find anything other than granite and 4 miles to find a dwelling...
These rocks do not resemble the granite but they are not magnetic, this looks like a shocked and melted rock with a meteorite impact but it's some very rare yellow turquoise. Turquoise Colors Colors range from shades of blue to blue-green to yellowish green depending on the amount of trace elements. Copper adds blue. Chromium and vanadium add green. Iron adds yellow. There are rare specimens of blue-violet color which contain strontium impurities. In general, US mines produce slightly greenish blue to green gems due to high iron and vanadium content.
I found this elk antler, in February, near the Elk Mountains (not far from Lawton)... The elk lost his antlers in the winter but not exactely in the same time.
