What kind of rock?
« on: June 01, 2014, 07:13:28 pm »
My daughter went to Myrtle Beach and bought some small fish tank rocks for me to knapp. The lot had obsidian, quartz and stuff I don't know. Some of it was "suppose" to be Jasper. This green rock worked like butter and I have no idea what it is. Would like to have a truck bed full.

Thanks Bob, it is a pretty green color. Does anyone trade Coastal Plains rock?
