So, we were right...you should grind it into a sphere and polish it...

Nonononononononono! Surely a crystal ball for all those annoying threads would be a better option?

There is a friend of mine in Plainview, TX, a retired engineer, that does just that with good specimens he finds. He has all the gear to do this work, if you (Lyn) become interested.

Great stuff, but I like your stone just as it is.

As I said in the original thread The quick test with a few drops of acid (HCl or battery acid) would have been a positive identification.

It's really pretty.

I used to live close to Chert Pit Road in a Southern city. Didn't find out until years later that chert is a kind of rock. Subsequently I lived on Coal Pit Hill Road in Danbury CT. Sort of a theme here.

Are you trying to say, BIS, that your life has been in the pits? LOL!

Cheers! Have a great weekend!

Thanks. It is unusual. Especially since we believe it was found in the Arizona desert.

Since I have all the equipment, I'll be building some type of display/stand for it to go in the yard.

In due time.

I have given "rock" a sun-orbital home.

The stand was made from new angle hacked and rusted with vinegar and heat from a weed burner torch.
