rock

I found this and I am just wondering if there could be something underneath, like the pea under the matress so to speak or maybe just a natural formation. It kinda looks like little poo-poo lol. About 1 inch wide and 3 inches long. Any ideas, I dont want to keep trying to remove layers if it...

I found these amazing rocks in a stream near my house. The problem is, I live in an area where agates are NOT found ever that I know of, and they were all found within 400 feet of each other (I found 4 specimens all roughly baseball sized). I live in southeastern Michigan but Lake Superior...

My best friend, Jake, is moving in just over a week and we go fossil hunting every couple of months. Me and my dad and him did it one last time today. We arrived at Westmoreland state park and headed down to fossil beach. We had a great time and a good haul! Mine included a dolphin vert, lots of...

So my father has had this rock sitting around for a while and we'd just like to know what it is. Don't know where it was originally found, as it was given to him by a distant friend of the family. I was wondering if it's just some kind of coal (though when I compare it to pictures I googled it's...

I'm a newbie rockhound having recently moved to Miami Arizona. I found this rock in Globe AZ. It's very hard. The porous side a file will hardly touch. It's approx. 6" x 4" x 4". Any help as to it's nature and value is very much appreciated. thanks

I found this rock/artifact, no idea what to make of it. :icon_scratch: Any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated. A little bit about it: It looks like a rock, the checkered pattern looks like its metal plated, the blue material/mineral reacts to UV light. The survace has a V and is...

Hi there, I am new to the forum. Had this rock in my possession for almost two decades. I recently found it again after clearing out my cupboards. Can anyone help identify the rock and /or minerals in it please? And I am curious to know if I actually have a treasure rock that's worth...

I found this the other day while looking in a pile of rock. The reddish inclusions with White banding look like this might be a Moss Agate but I am unsure. There is a section that is clearly quartz with a light purple tint to it but I am wondering what the rest of the body is. Any help would be...

I am looking for classification of these two rocks I found on a recent trip to South Dakota. I am wondering if these are Fairburn Agates or something else. Any help would be appreciated!

i found this rock near my camp in Cape Breton, it has a triangle shape to it. if you look at the close up picture you can kind of see a shiny colour (it doesn't show up that well on camera) it almost looks like gold. there are some small round bumps in the middle. it looks like it used to me...

Hello community - This is my first post. I have been an avid rock hound for a long time and have never come across anything like this. Does anyone know what it is? Its magnetic ie; a magnet sticks to it, not super strongly but does stick. Its way heavier then it should be and has a metallic...

Hi everyone: I came across these two rocks at a gem and crystal shop, but unfortunately didn't catch their name. Despite their unique shape, i'm having quite a hard time identifying them. I've tried searching online but to no avail. Has anyone seen anything like these before? I know that...

I was eating at jack in the box near my house and I went for some treasure hunting again, and went searching off side from the rail road tracks near my house again and found this malachite (possibly). Question: Does it natural or used? I just found it tonight from inside the dirt/ground.

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?

I'm currently taking Physical Geology course. Please help me to identify these 2 rocks: A & B. *Both rock are cracked open. I am sure that rock A is a metamorphic rock & rock B is the protolith of rock A. But what are the names of the two rocks? Overall, my questions are: 1. What is the...

Is this a meteorite? It is magnetic. If not what do you think it is?
