Intruded, glued and screwed
Pasted, thrusted and stacked
Eroded, weathered and packed
Ultramafic rock (peridotite) from an ophiolite sequence obducted and placed on the leading edge at the northernmost extreme of the Klamath Mountains. Weathered, consolidated and depleted/leached for 100+ million years to form residual saprolitic laterites rich in nickel and other more exotic metals.
A crucial source of nickel during WW2, Nickel Mountain above the town of Riddle, Oregon has been mined for nearly a hundred years…with tailings (dump rock) becoming bin rock in the operation’s latter days.
The characteristic light green garnierite (waxy/soap texture) is a wild combo of shearing/alteration/residual enrichment of the former ultramafic rock.

So it took 3 hrs walking to get my electrical and iron garbage to the 'garbage point' (afvalpunt), because people without cars or bikes don't seem to exist.
BUT i could take some phototooototots! (sorry to tired to type and think or first think and then type).
The afvalpunt is very far, at the Toetsenbordweg (Keyboardroad, yes). Fun part of the names in this district: 'weg' means road but also 'gone' So: Keyboard gone. So now we know why they put the afvalpunt there.
It is a large industrial area near the harbors of Amsterdam, with huge buildings of all sorts, i like to wander there, although you always must be aware of all the trucks and vans that don't expect people there.
There is art as well in this area. This work of 2 rocks is by Ton Kalle, it's called 'So What' and yes, it certainly seems to radiate that.
It is situated in the Backupstraat.
