Prime Rib Rocks

I call this a Prime Rib rock!  Just look at the flaming red color marbled with white.

Close up, it looks even more like a good steak!


Similar stone with a darker hue of red.


This is what I call Christmas Stone.  It is more orange in color and has green agate mixed in.  The orange-red color is more of a flint or chert-like stone.

Again, I sharpened the photo and increased contrast to make the image more clarified, but did not alter the color in any way.

Green River Rocks

This beauty I found in Hot Springs County, Wyoming in a creek.


This third image is with the stone wet.  I did not tweak the color in any of these photos; I only sharpened the images to improve their clarity.

As can be seen, these rocks are considerably large and perfectly smooth and orb shaped -- I would love to see them as edging around a garden, a woodland path, etc...
