Close up of green rocks, showing edges and inclusions.

Close up of green rock fragment, washed. Crystals are very tiny.

More #MysteryRock pics. Crystals are very tiny, prob in the 1-2 mm range. Crystal layer flakes off easily. Rock is porous, absorbs water easily.

Got some good stuff in the saw today #lapidary #lapidaryartist #mysteryrock #rockcutting #rockhound
