Alex Makes a Find

Notes from the Science Journal of Alex Tiger

After establishing a new search area just outside of Adventure Park it looks like my efforts to discover a new rock MAY have paid off. I don’t want to speak too soon but it would appear that I have discovered a very rare and valuable specimen.

I have uncovered a large, shiny mineral of a type that I have never come across before. I took the specimen home – I mean to my lab – and put it under the microscope. Upon studying it closely I can see that its shiny appearance almost resembles that of gold, although it has a slightly different coloration.

I have searched through my reference books and so far have been unable to locate a rock that resembles my specimen.

And most importantly I have tried to chip into the rock and my failure to do so tells me that this is definitely NOT chocolate.

I think I may have a really big discovery on my hands! But I don’t want to get too excited until I’ve shown it to Arte tomorrow. He knows all about rocks and he will be able to verify my find.
