If hard, Monarch Jasper out of the trailer. If softer some kind of opalite.

Mary Ann, I'm no expert by any stretch, but that kinda looks like a slab I have that I was told is rhodonite. Here's a picture of rhodonite I found on the net: Of course, it also resembles another slab of mine that is supposed to be rhodochrosite. Like this: I hope maybe this helps rather than confuses - Lord knows, I'm already confused! Tom
