anything thats taken 3 billion years to form and evolve is fascinating to me and it makes your job that bit more interesting.

Sandstone, tightly cemented quartzite that retains all the bedding features of the origional depositional environment. Usually aeolian or semi arid river bed. All polised up its lovely!:hurray:

I visited a local stone importer, a few months ago. The owner (who has a degree in Geology) took me to one side and showed me some sandstone planks they were preping for a wetroom. They had cut the planks from a single piece, I could see a ancient river bed in a grey/blue colour. He pointed out what looked like a fosil tail or backbone of some exstinct creature. He thought it dated to around 70 million years ago. How cool is that. Or am I sad
