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...
