rocks

Recently got in contact with a guy that buys storage units and ended up picking up a set of over 100 rocks wrapped in newspaper from the 80s. My wife and I are amateur rock collectors, and we couldn't pass this up. The really cool thing about this collection is it seems to have belonged to a...

Found this here in Kentucky while looking for arrowheads. Really heavy and very smooth. Found just like this just cleaned it up. Any ideas? Thanks for the help!

I'm super new to rock identifications so a little direction and help would be appreciated! I found this rock in Maryland along a stream. I haven't done an official hardness test, but it appears very soft. Speaking of which, does anyone have a good rock kit recommendation? Or what should be...

Hello! I decided to create an account here in order to help myself identify rocks I have found. I am very new to rock hounding so I know nothing about the accurate identification of the most basic rocks (like quartz... or is it quartz?). It is my goal to become more proficient in rock...

My grandfather died before I was born so not sure how or where these were obtained. At one point they were labeled. This is only a fraction of the collection, but what I am most curious about. Thought maybe 14 was Rose quartz, and 19 was tumbled Amethyst but I'm not sure. Thank you, any IDs much...

Hello, I'm new here. I just found this website last night and was hoping someone could help me identify these rocks that I found on my property in southern Nevada. Are those real gold spots? Etc. Thanks in advance.

Hey y'all, I was wondering if anyone has ever seen anything like these "meteorite" agates before. I have my own theories as to how they could be formed like that, but I'm curious what other people think. They certainly are unique! What do you think they are and what kind of processes made them...

Looking for some knowledge behind these two rocks. Maybe nothing super cool, but a new type for me to find! Not sure what either are. Thanks for looking!!

I found this rock in Washington,DC in the NW area. It is sparkling all over with cooper looking flakes on the side view.

Decided to cut open this cool rock. Inside is a darker area with specks throughout. Under the light those specks look green. Almost like metal flake paint.

I believe this is pink Dolomite.Im still learning. I was told pink is rare?

Can you help me identify this?

My mother in law recently passed at 96 years old. As a child of the depression she never three anything away . I found these in a little baggie. Any idea on what they are?

Hi, So we began finding hundreds of these round smooth white rocks. They were in the dirt that was removed from the digging of our new houses foundation. Some are odd shaped like a marshmallow and are all different sizes. Some the size of a billiard ball some the size of a penny. I live in...

Found these two rocks today! This first one is just a normale quartz rock but I thought the way to quartz looked was really neat. It reminds me of a black & white tree frond. And on the other side is a swirl pattern. But the coolest find was this one! It looks to have an extremely clear white...

Hi I'm Ciceli and I was given this beautiful big rock.I have no idea where it originated from and all I can tell you is I am located in Washington state.Its approximately 12×11 in in size and very heavy

Hello! I am hoping someone here can help me identify a rock? that I have. It belongs to a friend who believes it to be agate. To me, it looks like someone had playdough and crumpled it up in their hand and left it to get hard. It has the perfect shape and placement of where fingers would be...

Help identify this rock? Hello everyone, a contractor had seen this rock in my yard and told me it might be very valuable and collectible, i have a second similar one, could anyone tell me what it is or if it might actually have any value? Thanks everyone!
