Prescott, Arizona, USA

Where is this now-exposed pluton supposed to be? A mile or two beneath the surface, right where it formed. You are looking at an ancient pool of magma that cooled slowly allowing its chemical components to find each other and crystallize, forming granite. Then came uplift, erosion, and exposure to the atmosphere. Welcome to the Granite Dells! [2019]
