I pulled this after a week in my tumbler, it's a cool rock. It's hardness of 7, streaks white. Feels kinda heavy maybe for its size. so what this picture doesn't show is in the rough spots on top it's glittery, like little tiny crystals.  This is the bottom of the rock after I sprayed it. check out all them cool lines:  |

I think it's a beautifully patterned quartzite. It should take a pretty good polish.
