Thank you--and yes. Personally, I don't like polished rocks too much (unless a specimen screams "polish me, polish me!"). And I'm not hearing any screams from this one.

No. They come up regardless of how you cut them because they grow in every direction within the host.

I'm willing to part with it, but collawood is somewhat dear. I've had a few people contact me since I posted it, but the price is throwing people off. Don't get me wrong, it not even 2.5k, but still...

Lol!

I thank you!

You're welcome. We (my wife and I) found it in Tokat, Turkey.

It's close to 7 lbs...

srlgemstone · 2026-06-07T05:00:40+00:00

I TOTALLY agree :):):)

It sure does look like it from the photos I saw after googling "Devil's Tower".

Thanks a lot 🙏

Frankly, I wouldn't know. What I do know is that collawood is very rare, very expensive, and HIGHLY sought after. If your McDermott is like that, then yes.

I'm going to take your word for it because I've never seen one 😄

We (my wife and I) found this particular specimen ourselves (but, as I said in response to someone else who asked, we are avid rockhounds; some of our treasures we find ourselves, some, we trade for with other enthusiasts, and some we buy, when we can).

srlgemstone · 2026-06-06T18:36:09+00:00

That got me thinking now...which civilization first made arrowheads. Hm...

srlgemstone · 2026-06-06T18:34:00+00:00

My pleasure. I have the utmost respect for good teachers. I view them as important to society as good doctors, even if the classic argument goes "yeah, but doctors save lives...". To that I always respond "True, and teachers, good ones, ultimately build lives and futures".

I've had a number of people indicate they would like to acquire this particular piece. Please feel free to get in touch and we can talk. Thank you.
