I found this rock last summer it had brownish Chrystal’s in it just wanted to know what is ?
 

Hello, I found this in southwest Texas 2 years ago and am just about ready to break it to figure out what it is. It's approx 8.5"Ă—6.5"Ă—4.5" high, weighing 17 lbs. It is too dense for sandstone and not granite. Very large agate by chance? The crazy banding made me think of agate and it was found in an area known for agate.20180209_094635.jpg

I had this rock for many years. Stepped on it in the water in Greece. Very heavy.

Here is another. Probably from New York area. Gray hard stone with white veins. The white material in the veins comes off with your finger.

These were found near the same area of southwest Texas as my previous posted rock...any ideas on these as well? They are both really odd shaped in person like shellfish of some sort that petrified.20180209_122830.jpg20180209_122625.jpg20180209_122830.jpg20180209_122204.jpg

Break it open. Has a 'sandstone' look to it, or it might be the metamorphic cousin of sandstone called quartzite.

Often referred to as 'desert rose'. A nice one at that!
