🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Rocks From the River

[ToddsPoint]

I made it out to the river yesterday. It was a beautiful day! I went to a spot I hadn’t been to in 30 yrs. I forgot how long of a walk it was to get there. It was the site of an old gravel pit that was abandoned in the 60s. I found two nice rocks in about 15 min and I was finished. I couldn’t carry anymore than the two so I headed home. I put them on the rock saw when I got home. The first one is basalt porphyry.

The second one is a metamorphic and I think it’s unakite. It doesn’t have much green like unakite so I’m not positive.

I reduced it to a preform that I can carve a pipe from. Neither piece is showing any cracks which is pretty amazing for rocks carried here by the glacier from Canada.
