I recently had a house fire with heavy smoke damage. Wondering how to clean the smoke damage from the rocks? Thanks for your input!

Hi All.. I was out in the desert today with my trusty Gold Bug and came across these two finds.. One is highly magnetic and looks like slag from a crucible. Other looks like a possible lunar find, which was 2 feet deep. it doesn't attract a magnet, but has a strong tone. I say this because it...

Hi, This is my first time posting. I'm new to prospecting. I was searching for a silver vein when I came across these rocks that contain minerals. It was my first time using a metal detector(whites dfx). The rocks were located near a small creek in a mineral rich area. The area is known to hold...

Found this rock today here in California. Not sure if fossils occur on rocks like this. Showed a few people and they said it looks like a drawing almost. So, is it a fossil? Or perhaps native American art?

We found this in a thrift store recently. It's pretty cool! I love the rocks on their own, but this lights up like a campfire! It also has an adjustment for brightness. The pics are not at full brightness. I really like it! I think the rock is rose quartz, but I'm not 100% sure.

I am a member of The Gem and Mineral Society of Texas and they recently opened up a store that I think many of yall would find interesting and no I'm not trying to spam the forum. The store sells loose faceted gemstones, IF gemstones, gemstone lots, gold paysand, and rough rocks. Their Paysand...

Attached is a picture of a rock that I found in the North GA mountain area. The outside of the rock is a reddish, light tan color. The inside is mostly dark gray crystals, with some clear, red, and green. While not a heavy rock, it is very dense and extremely hard to break open. I have found...

Howdy y'all, Come across some huge quartz boulders on a Cliffside today. Had the old pick axe out to look inside and here is what I found. To me it looks like some kind of iron ore mineralization. Any other guesses? Greatly appreciative.

I have found these in the beach sand. From that day on no one is able to help me identify these. In these pictures the stones are 100% dry.

We realize that these rocks aren't "treasure", but we're hoping the community can help us identify them. My 11 year old daughter has a school assignment to identify 10 rocks - we randomly picked 10 rocks from the Pacific Coast (beach rocks). We both are having a hard time identifying them and...

Found these rocks on the coast of Nova Scotia, canada (Lunenburg, blue rocks n.s). Oddly, I found one about 17 years ago and found two more two years ago in the exact same area. At first I thought they might be slate (pencils) since there is a lot of slate in that area, but it doesn't write as...

I'm very sorry for the changes I've made in this post.

Found this collection at a garage sale a couple years ago for only $15. The fist pic is a collective view of all but the large piece of petriefied wood as shown in the last 2 images. It has crystal growing throughout, and is about 3/4 a foot tall, and 1/2 a foot wide.

I got this very large what I think is quartz on the Maine coast. Is it quartz?

Unkown blue crystals ID help please!! My first post so I thought I would post about this piece. Me and a friend were in an area where we were digging up quartz crystals, some pretty good size 4-5" long. in about 4 hours we ended up with 2 5 gallon buckets full, we had to be careful because my...

I posted this in my home state forum, MA, but it doesn't get much action so I'm posting a link here. Appreciate any help id'ing this rock structure. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/massachusetts/321534-cellar-hole.html

Best Rockhounding spots in Michigan? Got Any? Here's mine. I'm taking a little trip up the coast of Lake Michigan from Grand Rapids and ending up in the Upper Peninsula west of Marquette a couple hours. I'm looking for suggested stops along the way to rockhound. If you are willing to share...
