Title: Colombian Rock;;
Post by: mullet on June 08, 2011, 10:36:10 pm: No, not that Rock. :D I got a chance to pick up rock and beat on it with other rocks before I left. This place is an Open Pit Coal Mine and there was more hammer stones than good stuff. I did find some stuff that acted and looked like Ft. Payne and some other rock that was like Ryolite, but better. I was just using a hammer stone I picked up and really didn't have much time to play with it. But some of this stuff had potential. If I go back, I'll be Abo'ing it.

Believe me Eddie, if I had a supply of the good stuff, I'd send ya some. I did find two nice green pieces that I got from Joe. Theyre still in my "save pile"

Post by: cowboy on June 09, 2011, 01:01:21 pm: Man, Eddie. the one side of that rock does have some wild colors in it! If it would take a little heat and act right that would make some real purty points. Then theres the problem of hijacking some home, hmm..
