This one. It looks a little different than I remembered.

Oh yeah, forgot about that one. Marshal's is still more defined in its banding though I think. Both very nice stones indeed. Originally Posted by Dcaddo1

So, I was in the middle of lapping the smaller stones (Jesus Christ these things are hard!), and taking pictures of the lapping/burnishing process. One side of that little black rock was very flat and smooth, and it didn't really need flattening - but when it came out of the water I saw something that really caught my attention:
At first I was thinking that was some sort of metallic inclusion, but then I started thinking about a banded black/translucent hybrid that I believe Euclid showed a picture of and that got the gears turning. So I broke out my trusty Flashlight to see if there were bit of translucent in that rock:
The light doesn't penetrate very far - only perhaps 1/8 or 3/16 of an inch, but that looks like translucent number 3 to my eyes.Last edited by Marshal; 06-10-2016 at 02:20 AM.
