Check out Hickoryite as well. Sometimes the two look alike...although Hickoryite seems to take a better shine a lot of times... |

Wonderstone (rhyolite). Looks like the material from Wonderstone Mountain, Nevada.

I looked it up on the map, so it's the area after the pass of the Columbia, why Biggs?
We bought some plums on the northside of the river.

Rhyolite is a generic geologic name for a fine grained volcanic rock with the same make up as granite but with microscopic grain size. Hickoryite and Wonderstones are simply Lapidary names that cover a specific location or region. Typically with a specific properties like higher % quartz and takes a better polish than some other rhyolite. |
