Indian Paint Rock, a Rhyolite with Hematite, from California is a rare and highly collectable scenic material displaying unique patterns of black, brown, red, tan and gray.  This material comes from an area in Death Valley that is no longer producing as the mining location is now within the National Park boundary and nothing can be taken even by the casual rockhound. The material makes beautiful scenic cabs and will finish with a nice satin luster.

Origin:  California

Dimensions: Varied - range from approximately 2 to 4 " long and 1' deep and approximately 7 mm thick.  Total Weight = 206 gr.
