Iron Buffalo Slab

Iron Buffalo Slab

Iron Buffalo Slab . As you might know Rough White Buffalo is found in a number of locations around Tonopah NV. Both in Esmeralda and Mineral County. Some is more white than black. I now want to call this material White Lightning as the Otteson's call it White Buffalo and no Bison about it. The material I have is more black and was found in Esmeralda county. This material did not come from an Otteson claim. I did not pick up small pieces as the material is in seam-large clusters. This material is opalized calcite and chert. Thickness about  .197" or 5.02MM thick. Weighs about 2.3 Oz. Photographed damp.
