This is another black and white stone, like Stone of the Day #12, but of quite a different composition. The close-ups reveal lots and lots of tiny white crystals. This means the stone is an igneous one, originating in molten lava, the crystals forming as the rock cooled and hardened.
This could be the same stone as Stone W44 in this Post about rough black and white stones from Gemstone Beach. There is an exploration of how these stones are produced, and the variety of types of them, following Stone W81 in the same Post.
This is a good example of a stone that I tend to treat as commonplace and ordinary, until I look more closely at it. It then turns out to be amazing.
Go to Stone of the Day #14.
Go to start of the Stone of the Day Series for November. Go to the Series Index.
