Collector's Notes

Puddingstones are conglomerate rocks, often collected around Michigan and the Great Lakes for their jasper and quartzite contrast.

This piece suits a Michigan rockhound, geology collector, classroom shelf, or natural history display.

The green tinted matrix and red inclusions make this one worth noticing among rough puddingstone specimens.

A heavy little rock with a lot going on, which is honestly the best kind.
