Post by: Glenn on July 25, 2016, 10:32:26 AM

3 local alaskan stones and some moss from someplace


A chip that broke off a very large thunder egg.

Unknown material, might be some sort of modified mica as it is very soft.

Some lovely stones.
I also have some of the unknown stone and have not been able to identify it. If someone knows what it is please let me know. It polishes up to a good shine. It looks black in the picture but in certain lights it seems more a very dark green.
