I guess I will have to raise this snake for the next 2.5 years to find out.

So, BP breeding is not a great way to make a quick buck.

I know everyone in the Rock Forum could pick this material out almost instantly. Anyone care to guess here?
Hint: The volcanic nature of the stone is very different than the same material I can find in my area.

No guesses? I think garnet would have been a good guess, Rhodonite would have been the right guess.
Rhodonite is my state gemstone (MA), but the material shown was collected in Washington state. I have tumbled rhodonite before (Photos #28+29), this material is definitely manganese heavy and looks like it is going to lean more towards Photo #29.

Nah, feeders are where the money is at...

For fun: Here are a few more photos of my backyard on this wonderful 95F degree day with high humidity...
