Excuse the poor photos, I broke my phone and had to use my tablet.

It can be very colorful, not patterned, but swirls and patches. Reasonably hard and polishes well. Here is a piece I worked a couple of years ago for a desktop pen and pencil set.

Yes, about 1 1/2 hours southwest of me. Mozarkite has almost any color, Pink and reds are the most common, the green are probably the most rare.

This is going to be some real pretty tumbles for sure. Just looking at the pictures from your first post, this is the kind of stuff I like to find. Opaque and full of character. Please post pics when you're done.
