He saw the Verde Marinace and told me that it was made from dinosaur eggs. I laughed thinking he was making a joke. He got mad at me for laughing and told me he was serious. I didn't want to argue with him, but tried to explain how the stone was formed. He said he was a "hobby geologist" and he KNEW that magma had flowed over a dinosaur's nest of eggs and that was what made Verde Marinace. I let it be. It's been a great story ever since! :)Steph@TheGraniteGurushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06671867680855126655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-72379774847521179502010-04-04T22:33:51.427-04:002010-04-04T22:33:51.427-04:00I never thought about having inclusions of schist ...I never thought about having inclusions of schist and skarn in my aging bones but I like how that sounds.
