Hi, I’m very new to this rock/gem hunting thing. Found a variety of rocks in the same creek in northern norway. Anything interesting?
The bluish rock has som dark teal crystallizations. Fluorite?
There is probably jasper and almandine garnets also?

These are called porphyry. They are the product of a volcano.

One of my favorite rocks. I just cut one yesterday with my rock saw.

The colorful rocks in the first pic would all look nice if you slabbed then with a diamond saw then polished them. These are called cabochons. The one on the left is Kaolin chert from Illinois and the one on the right is Alibates chert from Texas.
