I asked a geologist what a similar striped stone was. His response was a laugh as he said it's a sex stone. You know just another F******* rock.

The sex stones make really good fidget rocks which can greatly relieve stress.

There is a lot of Leverite around here too.

lol, Yes, it's this year's Christmas gift. He's a Star Wars junkie and he likes rocks too. I also got him a little piece of a meteorite. I figured if he likes the meteorite then it's going in my display case and if he doesn't like it, then I'll take it off his hands and put it in my display case. It's a win win. lol

This year has definitely been tough for rock hounding. I understand people were distancing and these mom & pop mines where they dig and allow people to come hunt for rocks, I'm thinking it just wasn't worth it to them when they weren't able to have larger groups of people out.

They can be beautiful when sliced in half and polished. This isn't my video but it's an incredible example.
