some sort of scale (within the photo) would be helpful.
it could be as small as a grain of salt, or as large as the moon! |

Unfortunately, I would need to pack out half a tonne of high-grade for it to be worth more than a couple hundred bucks... I dont think theyd let me back on the helicopter with that much rock! :-P |
