Any idea why at least some of the blue sandstone (I assume they're sandstone - look like it) are blue on the outside but when broken open they're reddish? The blue appears to be just on the surface.

The bottom picture is interesting because of the shear number of blue stones.

I have no answer for that but it is quite an interesting observation. Perhaps the surface of the stones were artificially colored for aesthetic reasons.

 We may see more from this region when I pick up from Sol 3422 sometime in December after the PDS release.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel.   They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life.   I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at.  You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do!  I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them.  SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest.  I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
