Pretty interesting. I'd like to see a non-closeup picture of the whole rock.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

hummingbirdstones I’ll post some non close up photos to the thread tomorrow when I have some decent lighting.

Not rushing you...just don't want you to forget. I've been curious about the looks of the whole rock as well.

It just shouts for some macro photography. I really like the patterns on it.

Wow. That's bigger than I was thinking it was going to be! Thanks for taking the wide angle shots!

So, would this be considered a "conglomerate"? Doesn't a conglomerate have to be held together by sedimentary rock, and I don't know if the chalcedony would be sedimentary or not?

Edit - Stunning piece by the way!

jasoninsd they are both sedimentary. Conglomerate are rounded pieces held together, breccia are angular pieces held together.

Whoot whoot! You just "learnt" me somethin' for today!

I never paid enough attention in Science class...Jennifer H's desk was two up and one over from me, so never heard much of what the teacher was saying! (whistle)

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
