Fascinating. I'm inclined to go with Kind Manassa, these are at least 40 years old (I posted this already) have no idea where it went.
Russ thanks for the guidance- I think what's clear is the green and brown come from either the Southest or Mexico- something I never ever would have known. (Didnt the Manassa mine also begin in Mexico? I thought i'd read that. It turns out he was mining for gold and all he got was abunch of lousy turquoise. ;) It took him a while to figure out what he had. Talk about serendipity. Isnt that the way life always turns out to be? Imagine if he had just walked away from the whole mine? You really have to wonder what separates a Kind Manassa from just any other miner who I'm sure hit this mine a dozen times before.
