Yes I have some for cabbing. Susan found the best because she walked way around the mountain to where it's supposed to have a swirl pattern.

Looking forward to seeing some of those cabs Bill. Such a unique and different stone. Rhyolite comes in so many pattern and colors; this one sure is a stand out. |

Next time I go to AZ I am going to have to try to find a chunk big enough to make a sphere out of.
Or multiple chunks.

Those shown have about the tightest banding. There is a lot of pattern variety, I believe orrum mentioned swirls. I need to dissect them on the trim saw to see what variations are found. |

What's nice is the whole mountain is made of the stuff!!! Beautiful material! Bill, you need to get back there and harvest a few tons to put up for sale. I'd buy 100 pounds. Can't find anything like that rough on eBay, that's for sure. |

Those are awesome. I prefer maize and blue over green and white, but they're still really cool.

Yes, I graduated from the University of Michigan. Most of my clothes are those colors. It was a Michigan - Michigan State joke. I didn't expect California folks to get it.
