Hello, only been into this obsessive rock thing for about 6 months. Seems like at first there was nothing about pudding stone. Now its everywhere. Looked it up on internet n still not sure what it is, as a conglomerate of some many things how do you figure the mohs? Is it natural or manmade? I suspect it mad ed in at least some cases. Where do you find it? Will it undercut due to different mohs? Thanks, Bill

Its a neat stone but finding them is a chore. My kids collected them for the last 16 years so we had several hundred pounds but we just got into lapidary about a year ago so we have cut almost every one that would fit in our saw. Finding these is not easy so they are not easily replaceable. You hardly ever find two within sight of each other. They were scattered when the glaciers were moving. Our best bet now is remote shorelines and under water from the kayaks.

They really are beautiful stones and Chuck's kids are awesome. They were very nice to me. Jim

Thanks for the info, I didn't know any of that. Chuck has some of the best pudding stone I've seen.
