I found some time last night to do a little cabbing. Finished this one up today! It's possibly a black aventurine with mica or schist inclusions. It was a really solid material to work and took a great shine. I love how it's just loaded with metallic flecks!!! This stone is super hard to photograph though Thank you Jim!

That looks great. As it is solid, and has a nice solid color, this material would lend itself to carving.

Thanks! I forgot to mention, Jim called this stone a starry night and he is TOTALLY right!!! It reminds me of being young, laying out underneath the stars and picking out constellations. A mini universe!!!

Wow, I knew that yours would out shine mine.
I call it night sky with jet contrails. I have only found one little stone that I got 3 little slabs out of.
I will keep you in mind KK if I find any more. Jim

Wow, that's great! It has the sparks of my garnet in mica schist, but better pattern. Love that one. T
