Evening everyone, We had another fantastic day of rockhounding today. I posted some pics in members photographs if you are interested.
2 answers have been correctly answered. One has been duplicated several times and the other one has not been duplicated at all.
The clue for tonight is the rock has 2 common names, I have picked one of them.
Good luck with your answers................Tony

Wow, lucky guessing I suppose. Thank you for the fun contest. It's always so generous of you guys that do these. I need to pay it forward and host one soon... once I get an idea that is. As for the guessing, I was thinking and thinking of something that had multiple names, then it hit me... with the saw I just bought (which you helped me out through PM Tony... EDIT: helped with some tips on the saw purchase a week ago, not with the contest of course), the guy gave me a piece of Larsonite with it and mentioned it had a couple names. Then looking for what the other name was, I noticed it was the very rock you were looking for while this contest was going on. Pretty sneaky Once again, thank you very much for the contest and to all the other participants. If other people didn't guess, I obviously never would have guessed it.

Thanks everybody! I feel lucky indeed. It's no secret Tony is a generous person. I'm just trying to figure something to do to pay back the generosity of the wonderful people here.
