National Lockdown Number Two: Stone 14

The last Stone-of-the-Day for this National Lockdown is a small conglomerate stone from Slope Point (bottom of the South Island) that I found in June and finished tumble polishing two days ago.

Side A.

It is amazingly complex, and has polished well, apart from a couple of tiny rough patches.

Side B.

Side C.

Most of New Zealand, including my home area of Whanganui, drops to Alert Level Three tomorrow (1 September). This level continues to have a lot of restrictions, but will be reviewed in one week’s time. Auckland is still experiencing new daily cases of the Delta variant of Covid-19, though they are starting to decrease slowly, 53 yesterday and 49 today, and will remain at Alert Level Four, Lockdown, for at least another two weeks.
