One of the many piles of rocks with a story at the Somewhere Over the Rainbow Museum and Rock Garden near Lookout Mountain, in Phoenix, Arizona.

   Here is one of the many piles of rocks with a story at "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".  Way back when, Gus met an old railroad man who must have been equally taken with rocks.  He made a deal with him, bought tons of rocks of different types, and hauled them all to his property.  There are small mountains of different kinds of rocks everywhere here.
   To me, it looked like this stone was derived from a volcanic area, due to the zeolite minerals present.  Zeolites are a group of minerals that occur in strange, "bubbly-looking" formations, no doubt adding to their visual appeal.
   Behind it is a complicated maze that Gus constructed out of all manner of metal gates, grills, bars, wire, railings, and other miscellaneous pieces.  He told me that kids love to go through it when they come to tour the garden.  Probably more so than studying the zeolites.
   Return to the map of "Rock Art in the Valley of the Sun" for more view locations.
