T Thoseguys26 Newbie Sep 10, 2019 2 0 Primary Interest: All Treasure Hunting Sep 10, 2019 #1 I found this on a hike in far West Colorado around 8,000 ft elevation. I've hiked these mountains for years and never found a rock like this. Just wondering if anyone might know what it is. Thank you!!

I can't rule out jade but I'm seeing Chalcedony-Agate. I think the mohs of these is 6.5 so its quite hard and will fracture with a 'seashell-esque' pattern. Upvote 0
