content: NEVA Variety 2. Found in Cowley Co. Kansas and southward into Oklahoma. This variety varies from a solid tan with white fossil debris, mostly crinoid, to a mottled or streaked tan-to-brown combination with white crinoid detritus. It weathers tripolitic, generally tan. Rare opaline streaks and spots probably represent completely filled veins or vugs. Most samples are abrasive to the fingernail, but a few selections are vitreous and non-abrasive. Apparently Variety 2 is the rarer of the two varieties. Workability: fair to good.
