“A sliced and polished half of a flawless, medium sized datolite nodule from the Michigan Mine in Ontonagon County, showing a pink hue with red inclusions sparingly to one side. Due to its striking similarity to other specimens, I highly suspect it is from the 1980s underground finds of Bob Barron. While he collected numerous flawless datolites from a few different spots underground, the majority were found in a single pillar separating the 2nd and 3rd levels. In any case, the subdued pink colors, red inclusions, and bubbly white exterior are characteristic of the fruits of this remarkable find. ”
