Love the lightning stone. I think I have some of that. I like the others also very interesting material. All are very nicely done.

Liking all the stones ziggy. Have you ever cut the lighning stone with oil? I don't have a dedicated saw for water but seem like they might soak up the oil.

They are soft (mohs 3) and made of mud and calcite. They might soak up the oil but not real deeply I would guess. The ones I find aren't usually real porous.
