What is this?

[Rubykicks]

I have a few rocks I picked up from Indian Creek near Bloomington, Indiana and I am looking for identification. I was thinking perhaps a jasper, but they are rather heavy for their size. The red on them is very dark and smooth and the yellowish brown is more gritty. They have interesting shape to them, but I'm trying to decide the best way to polish them.

Cool find! There's a lot of knowledge here but there is also a rock and gem forum on the forum list.

Oops. I'm sorry. I thought I posted on the "what is this" forum. Do I need to delete this post?

Nope it's all good Ruby, most of the members here float around between the forums.
