Here is just 1 for now I have a few things to do then will post more if ok..
I live in Barberton Ohio and all of these rocks were found in a riverbed in Akron Ohio between 12/11/19 and 12/27/19.
This first Rock is blue and is heart shaped. Very ironic because l lost my fiance of 11 years to cancer he passed on 2/11 a ND I saw him for the first time in his casket on Valentine's Day..so all hearts I find are from him.. I picked this Rock up because of it looking like a heart ,but when I got home and washed it, I saw some shiny gold flakes in it. I really hope it is ,there are numerous gold flakes and in s couple spots where it has a hole you can see gold under the blue layer. It is 2"X 2 1/2" is 3/4" thick and weighs 4.378 Oz's.

Welcome Skylee. Living near lake Michigan I too find all sorts of interesting rocks that have been glacially deposited. The variety is amazing of what you can find, and you can definitely find some rare and unique ones. But since most of what you are finding is from Canada and rounded smooth it will be difficult to tell for sure what they are a lot of the time. Also try to take your pictures in daylight and make sure you get a good focus on the rocks, most of what you posted is out of focus making seeing the detail more difficult. Keep looking and posting what you find.



Hello, I am Skylee and I am new here on the site and at Rock hounding. I have a lot of rocks that I was hoping to find out about or some that are very nice...I hope it is ok to post some photos. I have 29 just for now hope that is not too many . I love this site by the way thank you.

Mystery Blue and White Rock...

Hi, I bought this at a silent auction because I figured I could slab it but I'm curious as to what it might be, and the Gem & Mineral club called it a rock. :laughing7: My camera is a little off--The blue-gray is actually more blue, and the blue and brownish-green parts can be scratched with a knife, but not the white part. It didn't seem to be florescent under UV. 20200114_222959.jpg 20200114_223046.jpg 20200114_222927.jpg

I hope I figured out attaching images!

Here's are rock for someone to identify. It's about the size of a silver dollar and reminds me of a geode. It has a crystalline look and has a golden hue. Seems heavy for its size.
