rock

Does anyone know what type of rock is this?

Hello, I'm new to TreasureNet. I've been looking for any possible ideas on Google and elsewhere what this could be? My husband found it on his property in the house he grew up in, in Northern Ohio, and my father in law had it made into part of his fireplace. The story goes that when my...

hello all. Hope you’re doing well!! I found this when I was a kid on the bank of a river in northern Idaho just around the bend from a dam in Post Falls. I was told by a local rock guy that it looks like a kind of memorial stone I always thought it looked like a fossil but I was a kid. LOL...

When light is shined in the bigger black/green rock it has a green color and has air bubbles.

Picture of the two put together, I believe they at both possibly obsidian.

Black/Green Rock that has air bubbles in it. Possibly obsidian?

I found this piece of stone on a rocky beach on the Oregon coast. As you can see, it has a small portion of what appear to be concentric rings with markings between the rings which give the appearance of being letters. Something with the shape of the letter “N” appears at least 5 times. Other...

Hey everyone, Hoping ya'll can help me understand the difference between a meteorite and natural iron. I doubt that I'm lucky enough to have found an actual meteorite but how does one tell without being able to cut it in half to look at the internal structure? I've attached images of a "rock"...

Found this horse head on my fathers property in Tennessee. Looks as if it was maybe an old toy. Sitting with lots of fossils dating back to the Paleozoic era.

So I have had this piece of meteorite or possibly a precious metal. The size is decent, but the weight of It is 3 times it’s size. It’s NON magnetic, it doesn’t corrode, rust. I found it and it was that dark oxidized color then used my air grinder with a 60grit pad and took the top layer off. I...

Look, I found a thing! My guess is its a xenolith, although others have suggested its some kind of fossil. It was found near Vancouver Canada. What do u guys think? Can anyone ID this rock?

What kind of rock is this? Here are some photos from different angles. Thanks.

Hi! We are trying to figure out what type of rock this is. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. The rock is very shimmery and the photos don’t do it justice. Extremely rough. Not magnetic. The rock itself is a black, grey, green color with many sparkles. Found near the American River in...

I doubt very much that I would actually sell it. The this piece had gone through quite an epic journey to get to the place where it and I would meet, sparking new avenues of interest in me, and ushered in a personal evolution in my life through the learning of how its life kinda single handedly...

It's made of little vertical crystals, the crystals look like sugar, some parts of the rock reacted to acid solution. I found it in İzmir/Turkey. What could it be?

-Found in Sweetwater, TX -Non-Magnetic The closet thing I can find is the Odessa, TX Meteor Creator Museum's meteorite.

Here is some information about the stone: İt's transculent, hard, has moss trapped in it, it's been used for a tool.

I was searching for sparking rocks and I've found these three rocks. I've managed to start a fire with the white stone so I think it is a piece of flint, or maybe I am wrong. The other ones spark a little bit too. Can you help me with identifying them? I've found them in Turkey. It is going to...

I need this rock identified please and thank you. It has a waxy appearance. From Payson area from what I understand (maybe?) A gift from a friend before they passed. I have been wanting to get it identified and this is my first real attempt. The rock shops near me are closed and I'm super...

Hello! Someone gave me this rock, they said it was a meteorite. So I would like to know if it is really a meteorite and/or what it is. It's heavy, and has a lot of different and special parts on it.

Here is another find from the Bloomington, Indiana area. It was covered in moss in the woods a little ways from Indian creek. I thought it was a geode because of the unusual shape, but once I started soaking it to dissolve the rock, I realized it was a fossil. Now to just figure out what kind...

Found this pitted rock in a field in the Florida panhandle. Any ideas??

Found this on the banks of a large cypress pond/swamp in the Florida panhandle. It is not metal! Any help in identifying what it is would be very much appreciated.

Went on a walk around my private woods and found this interesting rock (interesting to me at least). I was wondering if any of you had an opinion on it being used as a fire starter of sorts or if it’s just a dumb rock. Thank you all for any suggestions!

Meteorite or rock? Found this today kind of looks like possibly a Chromite meteorite but not sure so hoping some one could help. Browsed some pictures of small Chromite meteorites on google images and seen some similar. Dimension is about 1.5" diameter and about 40 grams heavy. Not magnetic...

This was found Southern Oregon coast. It was very different from anything surrounding. Shiny outer skin. Smooth under loupe. No noticeable mineral. I have exhausted all of my research resources. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Tried to include photo with and without flash. Heavy for...

I am new to treasure hunting. Found this in sticky clay of natural spring on S. Oregon coast. Has shiny outer shell and a smooth grain under loupe.I have looked in all rock, mineral and fossil pics I can find. Not magnetic. Any help is appreciated.

Found this walking the beaches of Hunting Island, SC. Any clue on what kind of bullet? There are wavy grooves towards the top. There also is a copper jacket that was around it that came off. I found it inside of a rock...

I was cleaning up a property and found this rock (along with some others) around the base of a tree in the front yard. Does anyone know what type of rock this is? It was already cut as you can see in the photos. The brown is an odd shade i haven’t seen before. Maybe an agate? Thank you in...

I just thought that would mane a good title... has nothing to do with the images... (or does it?) ... I have been working on cleaning the hardened sand that covers this agate(?), it's like concrete... little by little I have been oiling it with mineral oil, and toothbrushing away the...

Hello, my dad has dig with excavator this stone 10 years ago in Italy, it was for a long time in house and i decide to find answer what really this stone is, i was searching like 10 hours but cant find anything similar? anyone have an idea what this is ?

Howdy everyone! I was given a pile of what was thought to be amber. Used the salt water test and guess what!?!... nothing floated. So my question is, if its not amber,what is it? They're kinda heavy but they all have the amber color when you shine the light on them. I thought maybe glass but...
