That first pudding stone is different with the pink matrix. Is this goganda tillite? Those white veins are really cool.

I have never seen a gowganda with quartz veins but thats what this seems like to me. I would almost hate to cab them because most of the pattern would get lost so I am really thinking there will be a nice set of very unique Drummond Island coasters from those slabs. Here it is before I sliced it. I found this one over Memorial weekend. Chuck

I think the black breccia is pretty dang cool looking too Could the black/pyrite mix material be Apache Gold? It kinda has that look to it. Not sure what the black matrix is. Some looks kind of slately or shisty like steatite...Mel
