Spending a couple months in Arizona this winter I discovered the lapidary shop. Very well equipped.
Always been an amateur rock hound and Arizona is not short of rocks in the Sonoran Desert around the Superstition Mountains.
On a hike through the desert found a couple of interesting rocks that we put in a rock saw and cut slabs.
One was what the experts called a blood rock because it’s final color resembles dried blood. Also had some fossils in it for character.
The other was a milky quartz with iron impurities.
First was the blood rock on a fillet knife of 440C stainless blank
Second and third were also blanks, one Damascus and the other a fillet knife.
