I found this in the same area I've been finding my epidosite and it even looks somewhat similar with the plume like structure except it's red instead of green. an interesting rock I think I'm just going to tumble it.

I have the slab saw, why not play with it? I'm glad I decided to do that. This is a cool rock. Really fractured but there's some potential.

Some great possibilities here.

Keep us updated, I think these will be pretty darn nice!

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
