Hi Phil, My estimate would be W2. Weathered but not enough to remove
bright iron, which I can still find in highly weathered material. The slice is
polished to 1/4 micron and even at 650X still no iron. Lots of black oxides
though.

Thanks, Tom



"Don't know if this is related or not, but I was wondering what impact
weathering would have on magnetic susceptibility.

Tom, how weathered would you guess the stone in question is?

Phil"
