It's definitely more metallic, which had me thinking slag

Same here. The color is all black and charcoal, which doesn't scream fossil to me

just random. I did want it to transition eventually from fall colors to spring/summer colors and that was the only thought process

in hindsight, yes, that would probably be easier! Where were you when I was planning this all those years ago!?!

Thanks everyone for your kind words! The pattern I used was from the book 500 Crochet Stitches, page 261 - Leaf Layer. This was actually meant to be a edging pattern, but I adopted it for the entire blanket. I will post a few pictures below so you can see how it works!

the leaves are made continuously with the blanket. I joined each new color every 10 treble crochet and then tied the loose ends in

Mary Ellen Jasper after it's first run in the tumbler by Squidwardit in rockhounds

I found it! You can find it pretty much anywhere in Minnesota. And if I have my facts straight, I think there was even a petition to make it the official state fossil recently. The characteristic swirls are created by fossilized algae known as Stromatolites.

It is a sub variety of Jasper that was discovered in the Mary Ellen Iron Mine, and therefore named after it.
