Carved animal head in rock What is the material?? When cleaned and polished it appears gold??

 

[ARC]

? animal head ?

I personally don't see it... and no idea on the "type" of stone either.
Post the picture in a forum that perhaps some members can I.D. it for you.

Your pictures are welcomed in this thread at any time...
But the folks who can help with your find are not all on this thread...
Your better off for an ID to post in "what is it" to attract the "rock hounds" and such.

 

[Joshua donegan]

Ok well how bout just some cool stuff then

 

[ARC]

Sounds great...

Post away

You can still post your rock etc... Just may not get an "I.D." on it in this thread is all.

Unless... I KNOW what it is...
I am not that great with the rocks though...
I know Semi precious and precious stones.

Looks like a type of Chert, Jasper or other flinty material... Where are you from?

The first picture is the road at Crater Lake, and the second picture is Crater Lake taken from an airplane by a passenger who was returning home from Las Vegas. There is more snow
pack up there this year than there has been in years. That's about 100 miles east of where I live and we have green grass and open ground. Snow is rare here. I haven't been on T-net
for some time. Wife is very sick, she isn't expected to live much longer, and she is home. I don't get enough sleep, so when I have a few moments I rest instead of getting on the computer.

Bosnmate, Sorry to hear about your wife. I do know what you are going thru and it is a very rough time. there is Nothing I can say to help. Sleep and rest is very rare when taking care of a loved one. Every once in a while get on the computer or what ever to rest your mind if only for a few minutes. Take care

Bosn... I too am sorry to hear about your wife.

There is a man in a red jacket standing at the base of the tree. This redwood isn't in N. Calif., there are also redwood trees located in the Sierra Nevada of California.
The President tree is the name of a giant sequoia located in the Giant Forest of Sequoia National Park in the United States, east of Visalia, California. The tree is believed to be at least 3,000 years old. It is not the tallest giant sequoia tree in the world with a height of about 241 feet (73 m), nor the widest at about 27 ft (8.2 m) in diameter at the base, but it is the second largest tree in terms of volume in the world. As of 2012, the volume of its trunk measured at about 45,000 cubic feet (1,300 m3), with an additional 9,000 cubic feet (250 m3) of branches. That same year, it was determined that the President was larger than the General Grant, if measured by total volume of wood above ground.
The tree was named after President Warren G. Harding in 1923. Nearby trees include Chief Sequoyah, the 27th largest giant sequoia in the world, and the Congress Group, two dense stands of medium sized sequoias that represent the "House" and "Senate".
