Stay-at-Home Day Three, Saturday 28 March 2020: Stone Three

The first Post in this Series is Stay-at-Home Day One.

Stone Three was found on Gemstone Beach in 2019. I don’t know what kind of stone it is apart from probably being a type of metamorphic stone, that is, it has undergone transformation by heat and pressure. There are a wide range of types of green stones to be found on beaches in New Zealand, many of them quite spectacular in pattern and complexity.

Close-ups of the stone reveal the complexity of its colours and patterns:
