Looks like slag to me. That's the waste produced in refining metals such as iron. Lynn

Phew! I was almost afraid to look at this thread. So grateful it was full of the cabs and not the missing butt
But (not butt) what an amazing set of cabs! So hard to pick a favorite, but if forced, it has to be the green picasso marble from 1dave I don't think that's green Picasso marble. It looks like Imperial Jasper, Willow Creek Jasper, or Morrisonite. All of those a pretty hard. Picasso is fairly soft. Lynn

James, What was the last camera you bought that you were so excited about, Casio? What model? How does this one trump that one? Lynn It is the Olympus TG-4 Lynn. The red camera at the beginning of this thread. sample photos through out this thread. It takes fine photos for a point and shoot. The Panasonic Lumix takes better day to day type photos. It is the list of things the TG-4 can do that are amazing. Waterproof microscope stacked focus durability in outdoors. It's a crazy little camera. The TG-4 replaced a dying Lumix. TG-4 has some features that will be found on many digitals in the future. Olympus has always had trend setting digitals. Some were awkward and technical. Not TG-4, it's straightforward. It's not going to take DSLR quality. I'm confused. This looks like a new thread, but I thought you were showing off a new camera a few months ago. Did my time travel machine glitch out? Lynn

Also a 40X microscope !! WiFi hotspot and GPS Gotta give this one a go. All my point and shoots get dirt sand water or banged. Olympus makes neurotic cameras. Can't wait to try this one out. Has water proof doors all over it for internals with latch and separate lock, ingenious. f2.0, fast layered focus not sure, but insane frames per second(burst) James, What was the last camera you bought that you were so excited about, Casio?

Welcome from Cedar City, Utah. You're here for the tumbling, but watch out! You'll soon be wanting to cut, grind & polish rock too. Lynn

He's probably getting marred by a tombstone Tela is bringing home from Maine. Lynn

Wheels wear. It's normal that the wear shows in one spot first. Lynn Don't listen to this skeptic. Between my skepticism & your perseverance, who was rewarded? I will remove my foot from my mouth. Lynn

I'm using Firefox on Windows 7. I just rebooted & that didn't help. On a second machine running Firefox in Windows XP, they display fine. I'm tired of troubleshooting computer issues. I'll just wait for the problem to solve itself...or not. Lynn

Some rocks I've collected have tar spray on them because they were near a road. This looks like yellow line paint. Let's see what the solvent does. Lynn

When we turn the Forest Service over to the bird and bunny lovers and the tree huggers and the rock lickers, we've turned our history over. We are going to lose our wildlife and we are going to lose our scenery, the very thing you people wanted to try to protect. It's just plain stupidity.
Utah state Rep. Mike Noel I watched that video. I'm not sure how "rock lickers" affected the forest condition. I think he's just angry & threw that part in. It was environmental groups that wouldn't let those in charge of managing the forest to do their jobs. Like clearing out trees killed by bark beetles. Lynn

That looks as cool as playing in the sprinklers on a hot summer day. Of course, you'll want to play in the sprinklers after to wash off the rock snot. Lynn

I've got a local friend who has his jewelry in a gallery in Jackson, WY. I will see if he's interested. Lynn
