rock

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!

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...

I live in Connecticut and found these artifacts (or rocks). I live in an area frequented by the Tunxis tribe. I cleaned them off with water and a toothbrush. The last one is painted on one side and appears to have a person with a hunchback playing a flute to a bird? It’s only painted on one...

So it doesn’t have any metal in it. It was just in a hole I dug for something else. It looked odd so I grabbed it. I thought it was a rock. But doesn’t seem strong enough for it to be one. Chunks can break off with enough pressure from my fingers. So I have no idea what this thing is. Did I find...

Greetings, On my trip to the country side village we came across very mysterious stones/rocks. Looking at the rocks and passing various tests we found that they are very attracted to nails and iron and steel bars (They are magnetic) and have magnetic features. The Rocks are very hard and heavy...

Hi! So I've been finding these really cool and colorful rocks in eastern WY that are unlike anything I've seen before. Has anyone else? There are obvious fossils in what I think is a form of chalcedony (jasper?) but then there are also these little clear crystal agate pockets. The fossils look...

Hi, so today out in a nearby field i found this rock which looks volcanic to me, but i dont have much experience... Its was found in a field near a city which doesn't have any volcano activity there or even close, in fact the country (Portugal) does not have or had any active volcanoes. The rock...

Posted in Rocks/Gem and didn’t hear from anyone, but did have someone suggest fossilized coral on another website? Curious what this is!!

This rock was actually found in our yard and once we broke it up we found this (see pics). Can anyone tell me #1 What kind of rock this is? #2 Is this unusual? and #3 Is that Gold in it or something else ie. Pyrite etc. Any information would be greatly appreciated. A little background...

I believe these are some form if quartz but cannot find anything that is exactly the same to identify.

My child found this under the tree in our backyard, I think its Anthracite but would like a second opinion. Researching it, Anthracite is found near mountains or up north and im from the gulf coast of Texas so im a bit confused. Thank you in advance.

Hello, I live in Phoenix, AZ, I recently helped my Dad tare down the rock wall that has been in our front yard since we first moved in, 13 years ago. It was a beautiful wall, but he decided to expand. Not only were there rocks on the exterior, but 100's were cemented on the inside as well...

The rock is an inch long and weighs approx. 20 grams. It feels very smooth. It is a rusty brown color with a bit of a gloss. I'd be so grateful for any help!
