I found this at Red Rake mine which is just off the Beach at Silverdale near where I live, I was with my friend Phil and we had just decided we werent going to find anything worth having when I looked down and saw this large ugly red rock, I picked it up and got a great surprise, it has a vug of Kidney Ore running right up the front of it with what I assume to be Calcite crystals poking out here and there, (reminds me, I must get around to fizz testing them). Its become a real favourite.

Ive added a picture of the mine
