I got a bunch of rock today from a friend. Anyone know what this one is, When I first picked up this spall thought it was a tuff raw pc of that grey texas stuff, started hitting and flaked pretty good but now looks like wet salt, Maybe Quartsite or Hixton. Not sure where it came from and there are some more in the box that I need to check out, Steve (caveman) where ya at. Bob

Yep, it's one of them. Hixton kinda reached out and smacked me first off. Lol
