I have to keep it short tonight, I’m on baby duty - but I’m figuring you all would share some interest in the rocks I’m cutting. This was a very large 50lb stone, I’m calling it a Metaunakite based on the location/formation. I think it looks beautiful. I’m excited to see what I can do with it.

Edit: I said "formation", but that might be misleading/bad terminology. I am referring to the geological map overlay on my gaia gps to understand what formation(s) I am around (I do love that tool). This rock was not pulled from a larger formation that I could see.

Looks like a nice rock and a nice cut.
