Ever since I saw Sonoran Dendritic Rhyolite on the cover of May/June Lapidary Journal, I have been on the hunt to find some nice stuff. I paid alittle more than I was comfortable with for rough but "that's why I work" so I can spend money on rocks. I got two chunks and although the first piece was okay, this second was exactly what I was looking for. Nancie

I would say that you did good but that would be a big understatement. That is bad ass stuff and it is always good to see that someone found what they were looking for.
Thanks for sharing. Jim

That third large slab to the right in the first pic, I would keep that one as is and polish her up. Very cool!

Donnie: My saw is due an oil change anyway, so it was hard to tell. I did notice alot of sludge on the saw walls and porthole though.

A nice balance of the red vs blue. Nice slabs! Jean
