I found a chunk of Morrisonite in one of the rock piles while I was looking for something that someone had ordered, brought it home to see what was in it. Each slab is approx 6 inches long. WOW! Some closer views I love it when I find a surprise in the pile! Tony

WOW!!!! If it wasn't heat index 110 degrees on my rock tables I'd be out there poking around but I don't think I have anything like that.

Yeah it sure is a gooder. And to think it has been sitting in the $1 a pound pile for a few years. Makes me wonder how many more are in there.

I haven't seen Morrisonite like that, reminds me of old blue MT jasper.

Any tips on what about the exterior gave you an idea to cut that one? Or was it just randomness?
