for orchid whisperer
I did the vinegar thing, no bubbles. Attached are the closest pictures I can get with my equipment. The base I first thought was granite, but it seems to be a mixture of different types that were formed and then chiseled out to make the shape. You can see the tool marks where it was shaped. The top rock seems to be a geode type that was split open. It is lighter (in weight) than the base and has an almost sandy texture. Maybe some kind of sandstone. I can see streaks of white which might be quartz, and some sparkle which brings mica to mind.
The place where I got it, a nursery, had several, but the one I got was the only one with the depression in the front where I plan on mounting my walkeriana.
