  Listed as "ferric quartz" but I'm thinking more along the lines of jasper. Didn't take these pics btw, this is from the original listing. It's been so overcast here there's a severe lack of good lighting  Overcast makes the sky a huge light box. Very soft lighting, no shadows. Give it a try! Gorgeous rock. |
