I've got a bucket full of white rock that I collected rom the Sedona Arizona area.

I would charge $45 for a Medium FRB(about 25 pounds) with postage included.

The material is both chaulky and agaty , chaulky areas sort of like marble, with dendrites in some of the agaty material, and some darker areas.

The chauky part cabs nicely. I have not cabbed the agaty dendredic material but that looks like it will cab nicely

The exterior, not so much. Howlite is a really soft stone, like 3 1/2 on the Mohs. Should be super easy to tumble.

Thanks for the evaluation Capn Bob.
I packed my hardness testing kits already.

Harder than a copper penny and similar to steel a tad softer than steel in my estimation.

Based on that, the chaulky white could be Tick Canyon Howlite; sure looks like it.. I have not tumbled any; just cut a few slabs and Cabbed.
The Agate like material is harder than steel, probably an Agate.

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
