Yes folks, it really is blue all the way through. Here it is slabbed, chunked, broken, and chipped. These pics were taken outdoors in sunlight to catch the actual color. Some closeups Awesome looking stuff, once again, Thanks Steve.

Here's the big Brother that the piece I sent Stoner came from. The 1st pic is my beautiful 13yr. old. You can see the left side is where the piece broke off from. A close-up of the inners. Steve

Looks like you're gonna need a 36" saw to cut that piece up Steve. How the hell did you get it home? I bet the movers looked at you like you were crazy when you told them "pack up that rock, and be careful with it." I'm not sure what is better looking, the rock or your daughter. Okay, your daughter's much better looking.

Thanks for the Nice Comments everyone. I'm honestly not sure what the wood weighed, but it took 4 of us to lift it into the back of a truck. It actually broke while I was hauling it down for my old rockhound friend to tell me if it was any good or not. Like I said, this was the very FIRST Pet Wood I'd ever found, and I didn't know what was good or wasn't. He told me it would take a 48" saw to cut it...and then he told me how much $$$...and then I said, YARD ROCK! He always wanted me to take him where we found it, but we never managed to get back up there. Now I'm in Utah...who knows when we'll be able to get up there again. Hopefully next year sometime. Thanks again. Steve

Wow, that's a cool rock and a great story behind it. I can't wait to see cabs from it. That is such an amazing color for wood. Steve
