Were'd you find it?

My answer is no. Probably not. Maybe. Not likely.

Simply providing a link for a photo is not that productive. Dave

Found it in area 54 in central ca... imgur.com/a/YTq2c Maybe that one will work better.

You got lucky. You had a nice day out of doors, and came home with some free rocks that are fun to look at and hold, . . . and even prettier when they are wet. As to ID, I'd guess that you have some jaspers and some quartzite like material. Things that are fractured over the entire surface are difficult to improve with tumbler or other lapidary equipment so smoothness is preferable. Some of those that are pretty on the surface may be due to surface oxidation and biological activity so won't be the same if you tumble or process them.

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
