stone

I usually hang out in the "North American artifact forums" but I found this interesting rock near the Sierra Ancha Wilderness in Arizona and would appreciate any help in identifying it. My first thought was that the rock was painted but the red "pattern" (if I can call it that) looks like it...

Hey everyone! I'm new to this site but I think it's very fascinating. I'm hoping that some of you more experienced treasure hunters might be able to help me with this. I've found a small number of arrowheads and pottery shards in Arizona but a while back I found this stone. The grooves are in...

I have looked in my rock and minerals book to see what it is and there are a few choices. Some pieces have small holes in them also. There is a much larger piece that is part of a stone wall in my backyard. The rocks can chip but they are rather hard. There is a nickel in the one photo for size...

While looking for arrowheads on a lake side in Alabama, my daughter found a muddy, odd shaped, "rock". after cleaning it with lake water, it reveled itself as this small cross. It appears to be hand carved due to the non-perfect patterns. It weighs about the same as dried clay. The back of the...

I need help identifying these stones. They have a somewhat waxy luster and are translucent when held to the light. They do not scratch with quartz. The longer one I believe is agatized wood. There is distinct banding when wet, but the smaller pieces have no banding whatsoever. The larger nodual...

My brother found an old stone carved statue in a field. Roughly 4" tall. It's a woman with with a cloak type garment carrying a basket with her left arm and her right hand is up to her mouth. It looks very old. Thanks in advance for any help identifying this item.

I was metal detecting and thought, "It would cool to find a Native American artifact." Then I looked down and saw a strange stone that appeared to be worked on a while back. The place I was metal detecting had Native Americans living there, and is named after Native Americans. Anyway, do you...

Hello fellow Hunters, Attached are the pictures of the find of my friend. This stone easily cuts a glass in half and is not affected if submerged in acid or in any chemical brought here by a geologist from the city. The latter said it may be an unrefined diamond and told my friend to bring...

Anyone have any idea what this is? Found on the beach in Santa Cruz. Size is 8" x almost 3" x almost 2". It looks like something was attached to it at the top and broke off or something. Or did the stone form around it? Maybe a rail road spike? Made of stone. No identifying marks on it...

Hello fellow THunters! I would like to present our new finds. There are a number of them that we fortunately found inside an urn. We found these and a few green marbles (about 1 inch in diameter) inside a deep cave. I have taken snapshots of this perfectly egg-shaped stone which emits a...

Hi I found this strange stone-like artefact in the Channel Islands, and was wondering if anyone could help identify it or even a time period? It is approximately 5" x 3.5" and an inch and a quarter thick. It is stone like, heavy but not as heavy as you would expect a beach stone to be. Apart...

Here are a couple of artifacts, both found in Franklin county Ohio. The one on the left fits my hand any way I can hold it, and was obviously manufactured. The one on the right could be a fossilized bone for what I know, but it was used as a hammer by someone at some point judging by the worn...

I got this stone with a bird painted on it. What type of stone is it? It looks an orangy red on the back and has some glistning in it. Can anyone give me information on what type stone and any other information? It's translucent when held up to light. Thank you.

Hey gang. FINALLY got out to do some hunting!!!!! Found this in the woods here in Marshfield. Lots of stone walls threading around the area. Must have been agricultural land 100+ years ago. I don't see the remnants of a house anywhere, but I didn't get to really look-look... So is this a...
