Unknown- It's hard, like granite but I never did find out what it is, I bought the rough because I liked the contrasting colors

Maybe I'll cut some up for this next contest...  We'll see; it's tough letting stuff go when you are a hoarder.  :P  I was going to add spiderweb jasper as a choice too but truth be told when I went to cut some I couldn't find the rough in my rock pile...  It's there somewhere.

I already voted.  I think the fact we don't have a lot of folks on this forum yet is part of the problem.

I don't see anything as a problem, just that we need some tie breakers here!

I already voted, too.  I'm from Chicago and our motto is vote early and often.  The forum won't let me vote often, though!   :toothy12:

We need a few more votes here in the last couple days to make it a race.  I'll admit to voting for my own stone (against my better judgement) but I'd give my vote to Sandsave's pet wood now if I could.  That stuff is gorgeous!
