Now and again, I picked up a small rock to keep as a souvenir but dropped it very soon after because it was heavy.
The Nelson mineral belt is a few km wide. It’s made up of igneous metamorphic rock. The rocks across the Richmond Range are dense and heavy. They’re made up of magnesium and iron and came in several pretty colours. Silver, green and blue, grey sparkling.
18 Dec, 31km, cool windy and hot in sheltered spots.
