quartzite outcrop most well know for rappelling known as Pete's Rock after 1930's climbing community pioneer O'Dell "Pete" Peterson
These apparently formed before the last ice age, and were carved by torrents of swirling water known as eddies. It's hard to imagine rapids and white water at the height these were found at, but then again its had to imagine these quartzite bluffs sitting here hundreds of millions of years ago.
Elegant yet fun, these brass tone earrings sport a 6mm light blue quartzite gem that dangles from a trendy, hammered hoop.
These capri blue and brass beauties would be awesome to wear on a winter date with a winter color top (I'm thinking cream, light blue, winter white, black,...). Yet they'll also complete your outfit come spring and summer when the sky's blue matches these cute quartzite beads.

I wasn't planning to do a shoot while visiting, so didn't have anything but my phone. It was such a beautiful morning, I couldn't resist.

These mud flats were created by sediment deposited by flood waters. Heavier sediment, such as sand, drops out first. The silt & lighter mud is deposited. This mud flat dried & cracked in hexagonal shaped in the sun after flood water receded, over a million years ago. It was then covered with layers of sediments which preserved the cracked appearance. Many layers of sediments produced pressure over millions of years & created the Sioux Quartzite that we see today. :)

In the hard-rock geology world, it is useful to understand the relative ages of events. Here, a story can be told that describes three discrete occasions: The large granite mass formed, the light-colored quartzite dike penetrated the granite, then was itself cut by the dark basalt. These events are relevant in understanding the chemical and physical changes accompanying these phenomena.

Petroglyph site near Jeffers, Minnesota. The rock crops up at an angle and is somewhat covered with lichens, but many petroglyphs are visible, as well as striations from glaciers. The boxes visible on the rock are interpretive displays for the petroglyphs.
