![What kind of stone is this mantle? [SOLVED]](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/c724b599-e9de-4e61-a08a-4477743393bf.jpeg){kind=link}
So, I found this stone mantel behind the garage of the 100 year old house we just bought. It was mostly buried in the dirt. Fits our mantel perfect. Some sort of green stone. Was painted black at some point. I’m trying to strip the paint and want to refinish the stone. Area is southeast of Pittsburgh. Father of the man who built the house was an Italian stonemason that immigrated.
Don’t think it’s slate, has a tight grain and rings when you knock on it.
What kind of stone is this?
Now that it is solved can we discuss the truck? What perspective fuckery is going on?
“It was in the pool”
IDK, my son took the pictures for me. His phone has a better camera than mine. 98 Ranger XLT. It’s my fourth vehicle, lifetime. Throws no codes, I keep it running tight.
Lemmy isn’t letting me upload a better pic of it right now.
Yeah, I was pretty sure it was a Ranger, but the cab looks stretched upwards
Cool truck. Yeah a short lens like on a phone is good for selfies but adds a fisheye effect further than a few feet.
I did not realize that. I’m not really a camera guy, so thanks for clearing that up for me!
And the wheelbase is shorter. OPs kid probably used the fisheye lens.
Looks like the kei truck the US could have made!
