Uncle might change his mind if he sees it cut like in pic 3. Otherwise it does have kind of a feldspar-y look.

I don't think he's going to have to worry anymore about how the traffic is on the way to the job he is not going to have.
He sounds like a jerk to me, and a techno-crat... one of those people who think they are superior just because they have technology and know how to use it. He probably couldn't check his tire pressure or use an actual paper map if his life depended on it.

Sure looks like wood to me, especially that third pic. The only other thing it sort of resembles would be fossilized ivory. But almost certainly it's petrified wood. I'm wondering the same as Pat. What did the other people think it was?

Glad to hear all is well. I need to have something similar done, but have been holding off. It would require my not being able to work or do farm chores for 2 weeks+ after surgery. Then many restrictions after that. I need to have sinus cavities cleared and some reconstructive surgery done to bones near sinus cavities. It would be about a 2-3 month healing process after surgery with many appointments during that time. I would be limited in what I can do or where I can go. it would also effect my vision, hence, no driving. Basically, was told my vision would be very blurred for 1-2 months. Glad everything worked out well for you. That sounds, um, challenging. (Trying to put a positive spin on it.) Methinks I won't mention my sinus troubles to my doctor... I'm afraid she might recommend something like that.

I like this one personally: Hey, VT has oceanfront now! And the UP is its own state. And now I understand how the Nova Scotians (Acadians) got to Louisiana. This clears up a lot of things.

When in doubt, just call it "Hampshire."

Update... sort of.
I got an email back from Odyssey Writing Workshop. The director said they had a record number of applications this year -- twice their previous record. Many great applications, I'm sure, since it is being held online this year and nobody has to get in a plane and fly to New Hampshire from Portugal or wherever. And so, I have been...
wait-listed.
Which leaves me with -- what? Stuck. If it wasn't such an awesome opportunity, I would just say no. My boss and my co-workers sure aren't going to like it.
I hate putting other people out for me, causing them stress and uncertainty and complications. That's the worst part of all this. Had I been accepted, I was going to see if I could rent a cabin (with good wi-fi) to stay at. I had my eye on some. But certainly they will not be available if I wait for another three weeks. (Then again, they might already be rented for the summer anyway.) Anyway, I will get a newer computer and try to get my internet upgraded.
Why does everything have to be so complicated?

What are the seven sisters? Here we just have the three sisters -- corn, beans, and squash.

Maybe it's a type of serpentine? Or opal?

Daily Update: We are now up to 105 votes! No changes since yesterday, but tomorrow is still looking good for the arrival of the last boxes. If they do arrive, I will keep the guesses open through 8pm Eastern time on Saturday and then some winners will be announced. But then I might now be one of the leaders! How sad!
