Sonoran Dendritic Rhyolite? You beat me to it! I was going to say Sonoran Dendritic Wonderstone.

I'm limiting my hounding to the kitchen sink, but I now dream about rocks a lot. In my dreams, I find them as full slabs in the wilderness. I don't think they come that way....and I can't really picture myself out in a sundress with a pickaxe yet. I'd have to buy some pants LOL I may not be a hounder, but I am most certainly a lover at this point. I have real excitement and have been begging husband to bring home more bins! Which is opposite, I used to say stop bringing home bins! LOL! Girl, I have never swung an axe or dug for rocks. I still consider myself a rock hound - at heart, at least ... or on eBay, at least. LOL! If you're dreaming about slabs as I do, then you're there.

He went on an excursion recently with me. Poor ol guy was in rough shape by the time we made it back. I promise him next time we’ll take the atv’s 😂

That sounds like something I would do! Hubby dreads it whenever I want to show him something in the forest… my “walks” end up being 2-3 hours going up and downhill in an overgrown forest without trails, climbing over fallen trees as needed… no one wants to see what I want to show them anymore

Who knows... maybe even more. Out through the heat in the desert. Up in cliffs etc.. Told him to bring water, do you think he did that? lol

realrockhound You would regret that offer! As soon as you opened the door and saw me holding a parasol and handbag, you'd say.... yeah, nevermind. I'll leave it to you to dig em out. And someone else to slab them up. I like playing with the ready to go pieces myself. Though I've been toying with the idea of face polishing some of these. However - if you have ATV's, that's some real fun there! I could ride an atv all day. Just don't expect me to be useful. Unless its for packing a good lunch. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Oh, if providing food in exchange for you doing all the driving and digging is an option, I’m in too 😆

Cabby doesn’t dig! Tribe does lunch, cabby does dessert and drinks… then we need a dozen or so volunteers for the rest.

Haha I don’t feel TOO bullied… yet =P don’t think I could pull off pretending to be a British butler… but I could probably manage a Victorian/edwardian era housemaid just fine. Erm, but I don’t wanna do that in a desert…. And I don’t wanna carry things. Or dig. Um… I direct the digging? 🤣

realrockhound, I think you're gonna need a stick to beat them away. I almost said "off", but the way this conversation is going, I thought best not to.
