These are real big and heavy this one if you look real close there are daisy patterns on the rock, its hard to see it in the pic

That patterned one is coral. Looks like it might be agatized instead of calcified, that means it would polish up nicely!

I have to agree with rollingstone on the patterened one (3rd picture). Petoski stone! Not sure how it'll polish up for you though. I've read that they aren't easy.

Thanks, I only took pics of the ones that had the nicest colors. I still have another box about the size of one of those flat rate priority boxes full of rocks that I didnt take pics of. Plus I got a small bag of 600 grit and a small bag of polish, 3 books, 2 metal templates, 3 green waxy sticks??? So this was a definite jackpot of a find.

Now I need to go look at the other rock heaven pics, haven't seen them yet. cookie

It really does look like lacy flowers on the stone. Hopefully it has that same pattern all the way through the stone.
