So keep looking, well done, by the way I'm in southern Australia my state is Victoria and I am 38klms from Geelong, good luck on your future trips and I hope you find the perfect specimen one day good luck.

    I just commented on 99rockhoundings video. One of his tumbled rocks reminded me of Van Gogh's Starry Night. Then your Mary Ellen Jasper has the same effect. It looks like the MEJ has glacial striations on the surface.
