It's my favorite rock.

And yes. It's real.

    How often do you look for Cummingtonite?

    Do you prefer your searches in the day or night? Do you need more if you find enough during the day?

    Is there ever enough? Is it an endless search?

    OK... I'm already working on a script for a movie called "Cummingtonite."

    I have a catchline to go after that but I'm not sure if I can get another "foul language" warning point.

    I think you can get up to 3 before you get 'time out'...we have some experts in here...experts? can I get some confirmation?

    warnings mean nothing....if they want to ban you, they will regardless of points

    so the numbers don't mean anything?

    Its Luster is vitreous to silky. Sounds good to me.

    so in order to mine cummingtonite, do you need other people or can you just pan for it by yourself?

    Any properly schooled Geologist will tell you that there are times when cummingtonite is hard to come by, so you take it no matter how you can get it.

    you can be banned without warnings, but if you have 3 concurrent warnings, that equals a permanent ban.

    I don't mean to brag about the Gem State or anything, but cummingtonite is guaranteed if you are looking in Idaho.

    is there a certain technique to guarantee you find cummingtonite when looking for it?

    What you need is the right sized sluice box...

    You have to be careful though, the secret spot of the cummingtonite motherlode is in the midst of Idaho's most voracious cougars.

    Now I know that it's easy to find Cummintonite here on earth... if you know where to look... but how about other places in the solar system?

    For instance...

    I wonder if I can get Cummintonite on Uranus.

    I bet one day Asstronomers will find that Uranus has ample cummingtonite, and high probability of an abundance of railyatonite. But thats just a hunch.
