Hello Paul here. I'm new to the site and new to rock hunting,so I may keep you busy if your still up to id rocks. A quick rundown I live in west Tn between the Ms and Tn rivers. The area I've been exploring was a sandpit excavation site. They dug white sand out for 20-30 years. The lake they dug from is 70+ft deep in areas which is VERY deep for here.The site has recently been opened to the public and during my fishing trips there I started noticing unusal and beautiful rocks everywhere.Some crystal looking rock some solid white italmost looks fake, some pink some with blue greys and jet black and they are EVERYWHERE. I'll post puics and will be very greatful for anyones opinions your time and effort,,Thank you so much

Only 2 rocks I found like this in a mile square field of turned topsoil in Surry county Virginia. Any idea?

What do you think. I can send better pics. Really heavy

I dno anything about minerals etc. I always wanted to learn tho, but I was out with my dogs, not doing anything special, saw this thing, thought it looked pretty, never seen a stone looking like this. I live in Sweden, if that's of any use, is it something? Or is it just a pretty rock? 😂

Hello, appreciate your help in advance. I have enclosed 4 photos of an unusual rock. I purchased this along with some other rocks (petrified wood, fossils, quartz, etc) This one has me stumped, it’s about 4 inches long and about 2 inches thick, has some weight to it, and is not magnetic. Inside are what appear to be remains of coral. Its much heavier than any coral or lava I’ve seen. Thought maybe a ballast stone but it’s small for that. Look petrified. Any help would be appreciated.

[Treasureofmine]

So I am new to the whole rock hunting thing but id like to know what these may be?

I found these in the south platte river here in Colorado just on a walk around and they seemed to be quite unique

Black Jade? Or..... Any extra opinions would help. Feels greasy and the black deeper strips have a lustre to it.Thanks.

Here are three examples of rocks that are all over my backyard in eastern Missouri, having been used to border gardening spaces. They're each about 12"-18" x 12" x 6".

Hi! I inherited a bunch of crystals and minerals from my father who was a jeweler. He has since passed away and I am having a hard time identifying what one of them is. It’s lime green in color has rainbow hue to the different “shelves” with in it, it’s very soft I have found since I dropped it on the cement and it broke into 3 pieces. I’m thinking peridot or spodumene? It’s color doesn’t change in shade vs sun, it has a reddish tint where it grew from its source and has inclusions at the growth site.

I found this in Southern Ohio. It was on private property it was laying on the side of an old trail all by itself. It was on top of the ground and no other rocks or rock formations were near. It is solid and not brittle. What could it be?

I have been a casual rock hound most of my life. Recently my son-in-law brought me a rock that has me a bit stumped. (I think it is a form of eye agate.) He found it at his work site among the large rocks and gravel used for the surface of the parking area for heavy equipment. It about the size of a baseball, but not completely spherical. More of a flattened ball shape. It has an outer layer that is a chalky white and soft enough you can rub off a little bit of white color with your hand, and the white layer can also be broken off easily with a screwdriver tapped slightly with a hammer. The rock has had a rough life and the white layer is gone from most of the two flat sides, showing inner rings of white and grey, that resemble agate and have the waxy silky feel of agate. The inner layer has been broken off with slightly curving sections missing on both flat sides. The outer white layer around the diameter of the flattened sphere shows graduated lines that make me think the harder gray layer is underneath and causing those lines. There are two distinct places in the outer rim of the white layer that show oval shapes that could indicate that the inner, harder rock may have come into an empty space through these areas (maybe a volcanic gas bubble?) and I suspect these two oval shaped areas would show as ringed circles if the white layer was completely gone. I will post as many photos as I am allowed to, and I am looking forward to your opinion of this rock!
