    Default Mystery OR rock?

    This was an interesting auction that recently ended. What do you all think bidders think this might be? . . .

    Definitely not a Thuringian.
    That is one messed-up piece of some kind of rock.

    That’s what I was thinking, but I’m no expert. Didn’t think it was a jnat, no kawa or side saw marks. Didn’t see Thuri coloration, saw marks or white dings. But again, what do I know, maybe it’s something special. Hopefully so.

    It is likely some sort of slate. Sedimentary from the layering.

    Actually, all kidding aside I have played around with lapping pieces of the slate from that table but got distracted by other pretty rocks. I'll have to get that finished and try it out. They are a great size hor honing.
