It was Day 3 of a 3,000-mile trip. We found Richardson's Rock Ranch in Oregon. Locals told us the Labradorite blues were weak. Janyce spent an hour in the sun and found a 3-pound chunk with a blue-green flash.
This piece is part of The 3,000-Mile Run, Richardson's Rock Ranch Collection. We stumbled into the ranch on June 30th, 95 degrees in the Oregon sun. We found three stone types there.
