Message Thanks Ernest; it does have a bluish color to the white when photographed. Calcite sounds right; to soft to be marble. Has good weight to the stone and tried a little petroleum jelly to the nicks on the rings, they vanished. Seems to be soluble with petroleum acids. Thanks again Ernest, nice to have a geologist helping ID all these carved rocks. Post a Response |
