Not having that problem on any other threads. And I see rockinrick's photo, but no other photos in the thread.

I think the last photo is variolite... deteriorating basalt... the high areas are harder than the surrounding matrix. I find a lot of them here at the east side of the tip of the mitt in Mi. Ive found my share of the stuff in your photo too, I always thought it might be serpentizing feldspar... many people identify it as unakite if shown the outside, usually mild epidote-like green, white and a bit of red....but i am not sure this really qualifies since i am unsure of quartz and if the larger texture qualifies as granite. I have been at a loss to come up with another name. they cut and polish real pretty. Would be nice i we could see photos of the exterior of some of your similar finds...

hey Rick, your onyx post made me want to take a look at calcite and marble, alabaster... some images are pretty close... Lord knows Michigan is all about gypsum, calcite and limestone, so I'm going to try to do more searching. Here are a couple of photos of the stuff i have which i think might be at least cousin to yours. top photo I was thinking the green one

what do you think?

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
