Magnetite Ventifacts at Old Stanton Quarry #rockhounding #ventifact #magnetite

August 2015. Near Farthing, Wyoming, there is an abandoned iron quarry that my friend Alan and I visited. On the nearby hills there are outcroppings of the material they were after. Pure magnetite, beautifully made into polished, wind-sculpted ventifacts. I wish I would have brought back a big one, but they were so heavy, and we were so far from the car! I do have one on display, so ask to see it when you come!
