Hello, I live in Phoenix, AZ, I recently helped my Dad tare down the rock wall that has been in our front yard since we first moved in, 13 years ago. It was a beautiful wall, but he decided to expand. Not only were there rocks on the exterior, but 100's were cemented on the inside as well. Beautiful turquoise, football-sized pieces of numerous quartz, pyrite, every kind of rock imaginable. Then, I came across a rock that was very different, much heavier than the other rocks, It's very strange, and any advice would be appreciated. I broke a few chunks off, which, was very difficult, it's definitely solid, nearly unbreakable. I put a magnet to it and, (not a very good magnet) and only a tiny spec of rock stuck to it. The rock wall was built before the 1950's. Thats all I know. Please, any advice is much appreciated, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place:dontknow: Thank you.
