Nicholas Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I found this rock and a few others like it on the beach, it shimmers very metallic like. I took a small piece and a large piece off the beach. Here are some pictures of the small one: Edit: I assume it is something common which I am unfamiliar with.

D.L.P. Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Now no one can say that you don't know schist! "All the dinosaurs are real, based on fossil evidence. Whether the rest is real depends on you. It belongs in the marble hall, not that of the museum, but of your imagination, the other side of the mirror, the world that is in the end more true."-James Gurney, Preface to Dinotopia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
