what rock is this?

(1/3) > >>

le0n:
i picked one piece up from a rock shop in Marfa, Tx.

the shop owner didn't know what it was. he even questioned if it was synthetic.

it looked knappable, so i brought it back with me.











in the sunlight, it looks sort of like gray plastic.

thanks in advance.

turbo:
The second picture onward look like Novaculite to my eyes.

le0n:
^^ Thanks.

It knaps like dacite, but those red veins just come apart when you look at them.

I tried to get some vein-free flakes, but it just wasn't happening. I'll most likely just leave it alone and focus my time elsewhere.

caveman2533:
It looks like grey novaculite to me also.

JoJoDapyro:
Looks like a good time!
