Stumbled in this Sunday. Just two little strips that turned out to be the very top of two triangular pieces which seemed to be still loosely squoze (technical term) in the rock seam in which they had formed. Scratched around bit, couldn't find any more.

Got really excited when I rinsed the end.

And kinda bummed when I held the first slice up to the light.

Still purty though.

As cabbing material it is very nice.

Looks like it might get some iris if cut thin enough. Regardless, I think it'll make a nice pendant when polished - the formation/shrinkage veils that some might think are cracks shouldn't matter to most when you have a nice pattern like that.

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
