I have had this rock for years,didn't really pay much attention to it.I had cut a side off years back,but wasn't really impressed. Decided to hack into it today,and get it in sizes to cut small slabs.Already have some slabs in coarse.Probably was around 10 lbs or so.
Anyway,the outside was a completely different look compared to the inside. Is this Owyhee,or another kind?

The two on the left are what the outer slabs looked like. The two chunks on the right were the interior

A better pic to show all the colors on the outer slabs,on the left

I was pleasantly surprised

Glad you opened it.

Don't think we traded with China when the old guy I bought it from got it,though. snuffy
