My truck is infested with rocks like these, picked up after a blasting crew blew a hole in an island to make a basement (location was about 50K south of Bancroft ON, maybe 30K west from Unimin’s Nephton mine) It was impossible to get any work done because we were all stopping every 5 minutes to pick up another cool rock that none of us knew anything about
It was a revelation to me many years ago when someone on Mindat said something like " 90% of the value of my collection is in 3 pieces." It made me realize that's probably true of mine too, roughly. I loved it all, but.......
So now I just enjoy it for its value to me, even the ragged stuff.
interesting. thanks.

I agree , Richard, gnarly can be seriously cool.
