Nice photos, sounds like you had a pleasant day there. I've driven that area many times but had no idea about Bonita falls being there, thanks for sharing. The blueish color from the copper minerals is cool, I think that's my favorite picture of the lot.

I believe that the bright blue coloring is Malachite, but I'm not 100% sure. I found a couple small pieces with the blue on them and threw them in my pocket and brought them home. My uncle was a geological scientist so next time I see him I wanna have him check it out and confirm what it is.
(Supposedly malachite can give off fumes… like not good over prolonged contact.🤷♂️)
That's neat, it would be cool to hear what your Uncle has to say!
Finally talked with my uncle about it and he said it's either malachite or chrysocolla. Both copper minerals.
Interesting, thanks!
