Hi Graham, Bill, and List,

That was my initial reaction as well. I have never previously seen
the photos that Bill posted, and I was expecting velvety black crust
as well. This stone looks like it has seen better days.

I'd be curious to hear more about the circumstances of it - where it
was found, when, etc.

Best regards and happy huntings,

MikeG
