Thanks; there are some great choices of stone here. I also looked at Cretaceous fossil algae, a very interesting rock with brown flow banding in cool textures and shapes. But with the algae, you can't really recognize the forms unless you know what it is.
There's also Crinoid limestone, which has neat little coral-like critters in it, and Petoskey stone, which is Hexangonaria Coral, and is very distinctive.
I hope I live long enough to use them all!

Thanks,
Jay
 
Beautiful. Love the serrations. I've been pondering trying some myself. Looks like you've got it down!
