Please note that is was a partially overcast day when several of the photos were taken. Look at the ones that are in the direct sunlight for a better approximation of what the colors will look like when polished. Kona will take a nice shine and polish, and also looks great as a more matte finish if you like. Due to the lower silica content, these will not be super glossy like an agate.Please see photos for more details. As with all rocks there may be fractures or imperfections and sold as-is with no returns.Named after the Kona Hills south of Marquette County, Michigan where it is found. Kona Dolomite is an ancient rock in which formations of fossil stromatolite (blue-green algae) occur. The stone is between 2.1 to 2.2 billion years old. These stromatolite formations are from some of the first life on earth. These fossil formations are found in the lower eras of the Middle Precambrian Period.Because of the great age, and due to the many trace minerals present, kona dolomite can be found in a wide variety of shades including pink, brown, yellow, cream, red and orange with shades of brown, cream, gray and black mottling, banding and lacing.
