Hey Kelly! Is that Fluorite?? No Jason it is pinks and purple and grey, soft and VERY flakey, both phylicaly and mentally. Dang stuff is making me flakey(er). Maybe once I get more done I could send photo to Shaun and see if he can tell me. Duh why wouldn't he be able to I GOT IT FROM HIM (see flakey(er))

Kelly, it sure looks like Eudialyte to me which has a poor crystal structure making it difficult to cut, let alone tumble. I'm probably wrong though. I can't imagine Shaun selling it as tumbling rough. It's pretty rare stuff, too.

Like I said to jasoninsd, it's soft and very flakey. I thought it was some sort of jasper but cant remember. Ordered it a yr ago and picked it up when we were out there.

I did read somewhere, and now I can't find it again, that it is also called Saami Blood. Google photos of Eudialyte.
