Onyx Schoolhouse at El Marmol, Mex.
There use to be a commercial onyx production here by Americans..
It was mined and then trucked to the coast and hauled by boat to the States...
The school was built for the miners kids and onyx was cheap at the mine...
Well, it's my bedtime again, so goodnight all...Have a good one....
.....Westy....

Neat pic, and interesting history bit.
Thanks!
I'd only recognize onyx in its finished state though.

Interesting building, Westy,
Hope you slept well. Hope you have a good day today. The sun might be coming out again. Didn't know what that bright light was yesterday! ;)
