Magnesite

Hi,
i am trying to be more descriptive,and tell some facts about the material i post,instead of just the post pictures like (the old) me.
Several years ago i was fishing at my favorite spot,the fish were not biting,so i went around looking for shiny rocks,i found a big blue and gold one and put it in my back pack.
upon returning home i through it in my front yard,with all the rest of the stuff(animal bones,skulls, antlers,cool dead logs)
A few years later i met another cat named Paul,he had a slab saw,and i asked him to cut some of my yard rocks.
He took them home ,several days later dropped them off with my wife while i was at work,
all of them were neat,but one stood out considerably.
Not recognizing in any pics i could find on line or anywhere,nothing even close.
There is another forum on the web, Lapidary forum.net, that i joined to do research,i learned a lot of things
through the kindness of their members.Soon was introduced to longtime RTH member@CaptBob
who then pointed me in the direction of this forum,and sure enough,after one pic,the rock was identified by
the all knowing Sabre52 (mel).

That was 2017,soon after,i bought a saw, some wheels,and now my yard looks like the bottom half of an avalache.
This is a fun place, lots of cool folks from all over.


Here is the material i collected yesterday(a few cabs of it) kind of rough around the edges,
Magnesite from the fishing spot. anybody wants to go? send me a message. (p.s. no fence jumping required)
