What kind of rock is it?

It's called a pudding stone. The majority of it is quartz and the red stone is Jasper. I'm still learning though, so I don't know a lot yet.

Here is a sample of some that caught my eye.

Pudding stone is a "thing" in some places around here. I've heard of people who will buy it for about $1/lb, if they like the particular stone. They cut it into thin slices, polish, and hang them in windows as sun catchers. I've seen some stunning ones.

According to some Michigan rock hounders we don't have these in our area.

I have a few by my front door. Not sure where I got all of them, but at least a couple were found on my property. I think they're pretty, so they stay and make me smile.

Do they mean locally to you in MI or in Michigan in general, because they're all over the beaches on Huron.

Had a little friend visit the coop about a week ago… he’ll be happy in his new home the next town over sorry about that little guy.

Locally to me. Huron is the pudding stone hotspot.
