Ok. Remember last last week sometime when we were trying to id that blue green piece of whatever and landed on a possible weathered Thomsonite? I found the rest of the slab today. Here it is in all of it's glory. Do we still think this may be thomsonite? Rhyolite - Mushroom, Galaxy, or Lilypad - thanks to rmf, @realrockound, chris1956, and rockjunquie![](https://res.cloudinary.com/dosm6sdda/image/upload/v1720632564/IUVD9tEoTXeqwBPCqydWiw_rd7zfm.jpg) ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/dosm6sdda/image/upload/v1720632564/Qjm91ja4QvqkbSyBRWymng_eqyugr.jpg)

I am not a Thomsonite expert. The ones I saw that came from Michigan tended to be formed in individual voids and weren't connected. Could be that was all I saw. I see some pictures on the internet that look similar to this and are from Minnesota.

Yea, I don't know if it is Thomsonite. Just that it didn't look like the stuff I found in Michigan.

Looks like the images I saw on the internet. I was going to paste a link but realized it was from a former forum member who shall remain nameless (before your time ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ). Where is realrockhound when you need him? Or maybe he doesn't go into Washington.
