Nice find! Looks much bigger once you got it home.

Nice find! Looks much bigger once you got it home. They grow in the bed of a truck. |

I saw this massive rock in your other thread. I was wondering what it was! Nice find!

Gotta wonder how much time rolling in the gravel it took to wear it down that much.

The monster pet is starting to show its true nature.   |

You might need a really long leash and a tall fence for that big bad pet! It's looking so amazing!

It is back in the acid to get some more of the crud off, the one side is great the other that took all the beating not so much.

That piece is almost a log! Are you going to use it as a lanscape rock?

I wonder if it is a fossilized burl.

By the bottom pic I would say no, but by the top pic I would say who knows it could just be millions of years of abuse since that was the side facing up.

I am not sure what we are going to do with it yet. Any ideas ? Since you asked...If it were mine, I wouldn't cut it. To me, it's too special of a find and too special of a piece to part it out. I would leave it whole and have it as a landscaping rock. It would serve as a reminder of the trip... |

I think it should be whole also, and I am sure cutting it would be expensive.

I would leave it whole and have it as a landscaping rock. It would serve as a reminder of the trip... Once you cut it, you can't uncut it. I've got more than a few large rocks in my yard that are quite happy to remain that way, and I concur. There are so many other smaller rocks around to be slabbed and cabbed. |
