Title: Fooled me too
Post by: lithicbeads on October 01, 2015, 07:54:33 PM

I thought this was jasper, but it was too big to bring home in one piece. I  also wanted to see if it was good enough to stash in the bushes to have packlithic come get it.  I whacked on it for a while and nothing happened.  I got a little worried because jasper should have broken, as hard as I was hitting it.  After a while a small piece came off and shockingly, the rock was bluish white inside.  Now I really whacked it, because I was a little ticked off.  And a big piece came off and it was pure limestone. Oh well.

Judging by the outside of it, I would have thought it a Jasper too.  That is some weird deposits on the outside to make it look like a Jasper!   :icon_sunny:

Haha!  Good thing Packlithic didn't haul it home before you whacked on it.  :LOLOL:

Depending on the poundage it would have been no big deal for Packlithic.
