I like all especially the blue quartz.

Your volcanic rock is basalt,throw it in a bucket of water,it should float.

Basalt doesn't float. I think pumice does, though.

You're right, pumice floats, basalt doesn't, very solid and heavy.

I hit a massive Chalcedony deposit today. I retrieved this 40-50 lb. chunk from a larger section. The main section appears to be about 200 lbs.!







No, I'm not cleaning it with bleach. I just used that as a size comparison, lol.
