What is this??? Nov 24, 2004 10:05:07 GMT -5

Hi All,
On my trip to Arkansas in August, I bought a bunch of rock at some of the local rock shops. Some of the rocks were named, but some were on a table for so much a pound. I found this interesting rock and polished some that I broke off. I love blues and this rock has it.

If anyone has any ideas on what this may be, I would appreciate it. I would like to get more, but I don't know what it is... Duh. It is about a 7 or 8 on the MOH's scale.
It also has vugs containing drusy, clear and cinnamon.

Thanks

When you find out what it is, I'll definately go looking for some. I've seen Flint Ridge flint that has coloring like that, but, who knows? cookie

It looks somewhat like the rock in the center of this pic. Tom

I just won some on Ebay. Haven't gotten it yet, but here's a pic of some of it from the auction. Scroll down and you can look at several pieces.
