yeah I know it's a little blurry,the card on thr good camera is full of lacrosse pics, someone dumped a bunch of slabs of all kinds of stone on a friends place and this is some of it, just dont know what most of it is but it's free

Nice little point. My guess would be heat treated Brazilean Agate, if it was from a slab.

I was told it was an agate, his best guess was chalcedony

Did you find this stone locally?  It's hard to find chalcedony, so you'd be lucky if you've got a supply nearby.

Patrick, someone went and dumped about a 55 gal barrel full of slabs and reminants of slabs of all differant types of rock on a friend of mines land, bad for her score for me ;D
