Granitoid, do a streak test on the black stuff. What color did you get? Will a knife scratch it?

Can anyone help me identify this rock? Got it 4 years ago from a garage sale for $2 or so. Has small traces of quartz, I believe the red parts are iron oxide. View attachment 1447589 View attachment 1447590 View attachment 1447591

Looks like lots of secondary copper minerals; i.e. malachite and a bunch of others.

Found this in a river while fishing, thought it looked neat.

Kyanite? See if a knife will scratch it. If it does, I'm wrong. If not, I'll stick to Kyanite.

Here are some from Malibu, Palos Verdes, and Barstow CA.... Please help identify.

The first and last pics are to blurry. The middle could be a metaconglomerate. Seems metamorphic to me, any way.

Rocks near river

Found these near the Haw River in Burlington, NC. Any idea what they are? Didn't respond to a vinegar test and can't seem to be scratched with a knife. FYI, the brown coloring is dirt.

I found this in Ontario and I am wondering if it's safe to put in a fish tank

It scratches, yes. The lighter colored layers are considerably softer than the darker colored layers.

Better pic?

Basically its river sediments that turned to stone and were then heated and/or put under pressure.

Could be epidote. No idea on the fish, probably safe.

Would like better pics. Looks interesting from a prospecting point of view.

Have someone at a rock club or university check it out then. I'm out of guesses right now.
And recheck the scratch using magnification. If it left a "metallic line", it wasn't scratched.
