    silicified tuff from my claim

    Oooh! What’s your claim? Anything cool?

      The tuff was flow-banded, and the silica followed and preserved the structure. So not exactly agate, but there are sections that look much like it. Other minerals would be cooler, but it is nice lapidary stone!

        Do you sell them raw, or just use them for your own purposes?

          I am barely getting started with lapidary, like at choosing a saw right now. Eventually both, I hope (thus the claim).

            Feel free to post project updates here. This isn’t !woodworking@lemmy.ca, so we won’t have anything like their traffic, but there’s probably quite a few rocks and minerals nerds here who would love to see updates! Myself included :)
