Saturday night we had a explosive evening of Auroras province wide. Some shots from the locals. Took some pics with my cam also and for some reason they wont show on my comp I can see them on my cam lcd screen as showing but only load to my computer as a black shot? https://images.imgbox.com/d4/48/Q...

Thanks Ladies and John, no plans other then face polish a few for my cabinet collection. Biggest hurdle is not having a saw large enough to slab some.

This was the hail stones from it. Soli...

I guess I'll see it for myself. Heading out to the claims in BC tomorrow morning. Keep you posted.

Wow, Rock, good one! Just be careful doing that because that bolt could just as easily have headed your way instead of going where it did.
