I went picking for cool looking rocks along the train tracks the other day and found a neat one.

I have no idea what it is, but the test piece I broke off is tumbling up real nice.

That looks really cool, if you don't mind me asking what region/area did you find it in?

Don't mind at all. I found it in north central Saskatchewan. I'm assuming the rail line brought the stone in from somwhere localish. Hoping to get out again in the next few days and see if I can find another chunk. I absolutely love the look of it after even just a week in the tumbler.
