From the 2017 Tucson Gem and Mineral Show:
This is one of a set of 3 'cones' on display. This is the middle-sized one and it's got everything - flow lines, glassy fusion crust, beautiful patina, scoops, dips, and lips.

Seen at the Hotel Tucson City Center, room 323 (Suzanne Morrison, Raining Rocks).

Wow! this Taza individual does have it all. A nose cone, a flow lined downward "face", a sculpted low pressure "back" on the upper side in flight, and opposite end low pressure "tail". The tail end is nicely flared all around to create the overall nose to tail cone shape. Thanks...ah, Rover. (PS 366 gram ... does it look like an over sized salt shaker in size?)
