LITHOLOGY: PLAG MOD PHYRIC BASALT;

  Piece No.  : PCES NO PCE NUMBERS ASSIGNED;

  Texture    : MOD PHYRIC, SMALLEST PCE (2.5CM X 1.5CM) HAS A
               GLASSY RIM ON ONE SIDE, THE LARGEST PCE (4.5CM X
               7CM) HAS A GLASSY RIM ON TWO SIDES;

  Alteration : ALL 3 PCES ARE COATED ON THE UNCUT SURFACES BY
               MATERIAL, IN THE SMALLEST PCE THE MATERIAL IS
               GREEN, IN THE MIDDLE SIZED PCE (2.5CM X 4.5CM) THE
               MATERIAL IS BROWN+BLUE+GRAY, IN THE LARGEST PCE
               THE MATERIAL IS GREEN+YELLOW GREEN+BROWN+BLUE, IN
               THE MIDDLE PCE THERE IS A THICK (5MM TO 20MM)
               ALTERED RIM, IN THE LARGEST PCE THERE IS A VERY
               THICK (TO 50MM) ALTERED RIM;
