They look like agates as they melt and show the rings caused by being pulled up back into in the atmosphere a few times before falling. These had to be about an inch in size when they fell.

Every day that I come here, I'm amazed by the awesome photos I see. I love to take photos of whatever catches my eye. Usually my photos have something to do with nature. Insects and flowers have always been a big interest. You can also find me on Flickr. Summer '09 goal: Aiming to take pictures daily, and upload some of my favorites. I hope people enjoy them as much as I do. Most of the time, the fun comes from taking the pictures, more than the actual results. Create your own visitor map! Counter started: 6-21-09 |

These are the largest hailstones I've seen in real life, that I can remember. I know that bigger ones exist, but I think it is quite rare to see this kind of hail in the Cities. It was quite a ker-THUNK sound they made falling from the sky. I felt sorry for all the cars parked out on the street. Oh and my hands felt very cold after putting them in that bowl.
The terrible humidity prevented me from wanting to upload the photos yesterday. (we have no AC in our house! (besides one room with a window unit but it doesn't have a computer set up.)
Like the way you arranged the hail stones. Sitting them on the pebbles in water gives a cooling feeling. Your hobby may provide a great distraction until it cools down up there. I'm going to look at your beautiful photo, "Thawing the Minnehaha Falls", for several minutes, to cool down from my morning walk. Heat wave in Fort Lee, NJ. It's 91 and rising.
Sorry about no A/C!! That's worse than the hail.
