So unless it worked the first 4 times I tried, this is my first post on here. I’m not good with geology, but I’ve found a lot of Native American artifacts. These two were found in close proximity. You may not can tell, but the rock in the first four pics has been flaked (given the high impact...
Hi all
I saw this video of a 106lb geode being opened for the first time and I thought you guys might enjoy it.
I can quite catch the name of the geode type on the video. Does anyone know what type it is?
I have a vague idea for some of these but for the most part I'm stumped, I bought a small collection recently and have been looking through my collection from when I was really young and these are the last ones I have to identify. Please let me know if I need to take more pictures or provide...
I posted before but found a pile of all different types of rocks buried in our dirt floor cellar. It appears that someone put them there. Any insight would be great. I took close ups of a few and then a bunch of them. Thank you. Happy New Year!

I found these today while collecting quarts next to a creek in pennsylvania. They're dark green and at first I thought they could be glass but I'm not sure because of how thick they are and how they're shaped. I tried scratching glass with them and it barely leaves a mark, just slightly. Could...
So i bought three and a half fifty gallon barrels from this older fellow who said "back 25 years ago i bought these off of a few fellows who had been collecting them all their lives from many different places" I am still sorting through. But, i am kinda lost at what a lot of them are? i have...
Found these in the desert, the area has a lot of schist, graphite, tin, mica, etc. I was curious as to what these are. Anybody got any ideas? Cassiterite?
Hi everyone,
New here, I stumbled across the forum whilst looking to identify some rocks I obtained whilst beach combing. As the subject line suggests, I have narrowed it down to slag glass or green obsidian, although I am no expert so I welcome any suggestions.
Hardness test - super hard...
I found this while going to a park near my house off the 'side' of the railroad tracks.
I'm wondering if it is mica or some other kind of rock and if it is rare?
p I live in an old mining town near Sutter's Mill/Mine & Governer's Mine; both known tfor recovery of gold. I have read so much about gold ore and seen pictures and watched videos but nothing substitutes experience which I know many of you have. I have more rock pics to. I have broken up a lot...
