Scoria: Brian 1 - Peeved Island God 0

At the expense of my sister-in-law's leg, Brother Kevin brought back from Hawaii a nice piece of scoria. Besides my bottle of ash from Mt. St Helens, this is the only volcanic sample I have. (I have granite, too...but that is plutonic so it doesn't apply). I plan on posting pictures of many samples from my growing, yet limited collection. I really, really, really would like to go meteor hunting sometime, too. I am fairly confident about the identity of most of the rocks I will post, but I am always open and hopeful for eyes and minds better than mine to prove me wrong. Anyway, I appreciate my brother picking this up for me as well as Lena taking the brunt of a pissed off Hawaiian diety.
