Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a stromatolite fossil right? Pretty sure the rock is jasper(mary ellen?) with some basalt on top. Found in central MN(Twin Cities). Probably looks much better polished, but this is raw with a little water.  |

Mary Ellen is messy to cut but can make some beautiful cabs.
