Having collected, and tumbled thousands of rocks over the years I feel I am qualified to give you what I consider to be a fairly good analysis to your question regarding what that stone is. If you look at its color, you will see that it is not white, but rather more of a beige type. You can also see two cracks in the upper, and bottom third of the stone. This tells you that is has been broken before, then glued. It has also been cabbed. The lines go down in a diagonal curvy manner. Also running down the center is a flag such as you would find at a golf course. The fact that it was found in a bar leads me to believe that what you have found is among the rarest of rocks. It is called Bar-ite. Most likely tossed in anger by a sub-par golfer who fancies himself a rockhound while playing golf, and a golfer while indulging at the pub.

Here's a cute little story along this subject line that happened to me...

I went to Calgary for a week on business a couple years back & while I was there I had to have a taste of the local night life (which was pretty darn fine if I may say so)

Me & two of my buds from work were at a bar called "Outlaws" one night & we were all doing fairly well with the ladies (surprisingly) but this one girl was particularly interested in me for most of the night & we ended up dancing quite a bit together. I didn't think too much of anything at the time since I was just there for a good time while I was in town & that's exactly what I was doing!

At some point in the night I commented on this bracelet she was wearing, which was a sort of silver lattice with some different small stones wired into it. It looked hand made but it was quite well done for it's simplicity. She said a friends mom gave it to her & she didn't really like it that much. I told her that I thought it was really nice.

Well, seeing as I wasn't in the position to "take anyone home" after, I never gave a second thought to the idea of having anything to do with this girl after the night was over (or a first thought for that matter) and at some point later on my buds came to get me when it was time to bail.

She tried to convince me to stay & I explained that I was "from out of town" "here on business" & "these guys were my ticket here", "Have to work in the morning" etc. (this was a Thursday night). Then she offered to give me a ride home later if I stayed & this made me a bit uncomfortable being in a strange place with some girl i've only known for a few drunken hours wanting to "take me home" and all...

Anyways, I politely declined but agreed to have one more dance (slow) and at some point when we were close I guess she slipped this bracelet & a small piece of paper with her # on it into my shirt pocket. (she was practically wrapped right around me at that point) ((quite affectionate too!))

I didn't notice until I got back to my bud's place, (probably beacause I was too hosed & happy with myself at the time) but when I was getting undressed to crash for the night on the hide-a-bed, this bracelet fell out of my pocket & I found the little paper with those seven lucky numbers on it. I realised what had happened & I was TOTALLY blown away that she wanted me to "call her to return her bracelet", like any good guy would

At this point I felt like a silly little kid with a crush.

So i'm thinking.... DAMN! I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Right? ;D

Unfortunately, I never did manage to work up the, uhhh, "courage" to call her (sober) after cluing in. I really thought I should call her but at the same time I didn't want to have to deal with her again since she seemed really nice & I knew she wanted to see me again so I didn't want to have to turn her down. Gee, what a horrible dilemma huh!

Of course, I had to bash my head on the wall a bunch of times over it later when I thought about it more but oh-well, what's a guy to do eh???

...I STILL have that thing around here somewhere too!
I'd have a real hard time "getting rid of it" since i'm such a sentimentalist but it's not the kind of thing you want your S.O. to stumble across & start asking questions about, ya know!
