Didnt get to go to the new creek today. I went to my usual creek (gold pics to come) and as i was shoveling into my bazooka, in the same shovel full, i noticed 2 rocks that were unlike all the others ive seen in this creek. Any help identifying would fantastic. The small round one is pinkish in color and smooth as glass. The clear one has zero color at all and is smooth on the edges. At first i thought it was just clear quartz, but its is so smooth and almost feels like its frosted or coated in dry soap or something... best way i can explain it. Let me know what you guys think this could be. I am at the deepest layer i have ever been in at this creek and i believe this stuff was in clay.+

Keep in mind I am not an expert. Being associated with the quartz, what it looks like to me is that it could be a piece of stream rounded pink feldspar. That is only a guess tho. :laughing7:

Have to agree about the pebble with IAM. As to the clear bit a hardness test or SG is needed to rule between topaz and quartz but it looks more like a quartz to me.
