Apache Canyon Rock Slab 293

Apache Canyon dendritic rhyolite is an increasingly rare material from Deming, New Mexico that is noted for its awesome desert landscape scenes.  Dark maroon silhouettes on a reddish/pink, and occasionally white/yellow background produce some amazing “rock pictures”.   A very hard rhyolite, it takes a great polish, making exceptional finished pieces.  A definite “must” for any serious artisan or rock collector.
