dr_doink Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Hey all, I've had this stone with me for over 20 years now and have always wondered if it was actually something or just a random luck-of-the-draw design on a rock. It was found in the Buffalo, New York area if that helps. Any kind of insights would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranzBernhard Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Random pattern, produced by fine layering of the rock. Would you like to show us a side view? There is a slight possibility that a side view may change my mind. But very nice, indeed. Thanks for sharing. Franz Bernhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I agree with Franz. Nice piece worth keeping. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thecosmilia Trichitoma Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 It might look nice polished, if that is possible. Nice rock!

Franz Bernhard Aahh yeah I had a feeling it was closer to the random/natural side of things but thanks for taking a look! And absolutely, as soon as I get back from out of town Ill upload side and back pictures of it as well @Thecosmilia Trichitoma I havent thought about it but like you said if possible I think it would look nice polished as well!
