This has been one of my favorite rocks since 2010. I usually walked the stream at the nature center when wild life was inactive, usually starting in December. I picked this up in 2010, brought it home and threw it into the tumbler. It went the first week and then as I was changing the grit, I decided to keep it out because I liked its looks just as you see it.
It's a loose end for me because I can not find it. I want to test its hardness. I have asked mindat.org to help me identify it and they have asked.
This is a panorama and I have loved the image for a long time. The actual rock is about 1.5 inches horizontally, When I made this as a print, I recognized something was wrong but I did not know what. Recently, I was cleaning out the basement and found the canvas print I made. I set it out and looked at it while I worked. I decided it was just floating in the frame with no anchor so I added the shadows you can see above. I had printed on the white canvas and stretched it. Now, I wish to reprint it with the blue background but I do not have enough ink so I will leave it as is. My friend, Paul the painter, came by and added the drop shadows with a felt tipped marker. I am too shaky to do such a thing.
I may have given it to a visiting grandchild because they like rocks too. I have asked them to look for it but no one seems to recognize it.
I hope you enjoy looking at it.
