Sample Stone

This picture shows the heavy layer of moss and also seams.

This shows the heavy "Gravel" beds compared to the extremely fine grained "sample".  You can also see several seams across the surface.

Seams clearly showing through on the upper half of this block.

Another block with several seams.

       

Close-up of seams in another block.

Most of the blocks only have enough width to make a single 10 1/4" cut.

Thin boulder would be a more appropriate term.
