2" Carved "Leopard Rock" Turtle - Wyoming

This is a beautiful piece of "leopard rock" from the Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming, that has been polished into a turtle shape. This specimen measures 2 inches wide and its glossy polish allows the crystal formations to really stand out.

Plagioclase phenocrysts are large, conspicuous crystals of plagioclase feldspar that stand out against the finer-grained/glassy matrix (groundmass) of an igneous rock.
