rock

I was cleaning up a property and found this rock (along with some others) around the base of a tree in the front yard. Does anyone know what type of rock this is? It was already cut as you can see in the photos. The brown is an odd shade i haven’t seen before. Maybe an agate? Thank you in...

I just thought that would mane a good title... has nothing to do with the images... (or does it?) ... I have been working on cleaning the hardened sand that covers this agate(?), it's like concrete... little by little I have been oiling it with mineral oil, and toothbrushing away the...

Hello, my dad has dig with excavator this stone 10 years ago in Italy, it was for a long time in house and i decide to find answer what really this stone is, i was searching like 10 hours but cant find anything similar? anyone have an idea what this is ?

Howdy everyone! I was given a pile of what was thought to be amber. Used the salt water test and guess what!?!... nothing floated. So my question is, if its not amber,what is it? They're kinda heavy but they all have the amber color when you shine the light on them. I thought maybe glass but...

I would absolutely adore to know what rock this charm is! Let me know!

Dug this up while excavating an area in central Missouri. It was in an area with lots of clay if that matters much. Top Angles: Bottom:

Does anyone have any guesses as to what this is? I'm not sure where it actually came from so I can't ask a shop/check a shop's website or anything of that sort. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I Found this on the beach in halfmoon Bay, California and I dont seem to find anything online as to what it is...Any Ideas. ??

Ok guys I have this rock I found and am wondering what you guys think...I posted at a different forum and got a few uncertain mixed responses. I have a video that shows it better but was unable to upload it here so I just have pics. Thanks in advance fellow rock hounds!

I found this stone or rock or whatever I don't know what to call it, but I don't know what it is, can someone professional tell me what kind of stone is this and is it valuable or not?

Found this rock in wood upside down near a bunch of natural springs no other rocks near it middle tn need help identifying it

I live in Connecticut and found these artifacts (or rocks). I live in an area frequented by the Tunxis tribe. I cleaned them off with water and a toothbrush. The last one is painted on one side and appears to have a person with a hunchback playing a flute to a bird? It’s only painted on one...

So it doesn’t have any metal in it. It was just in a hole I dug for something else. It looked odd so I grabbed it. I thought it was a rock. But doesn’t seem strong enough for it to be one. Chunks can break off with enough pressure from my fingers. So I have no idea what this thing is. Did I find...

This was found in Southwestern South Dakota near the Black Hills. Can anyone tell me what type of rock it is? Thanks in advance.

I'm curious what this is as it is very heavy for its size. I'm in the North of the UK. Found near lots of iron type rocks. I would love to know the name of this rock. Thanks. :icon_thumleft: https://imgur.com/a/Ofakqd3

Hello, Im new here. I found this on my land in Nevada. Are some of these gold spots actually real gold? Thanks in advance!

I was at work playing in my excavator when I came across this rock some of it is a matte black other parts of it are super shiny almost like glass but there is like a thumb print indent in one of them with goldish glittery Rock substance of sorts I've always been a random rock collector since I...

Greetings, On my trip to the country side village we came across very mysterious stones/rocks. Looking at the rocks and passing various tests we found that they are very attracted to nails and iron and steel bars (They are magnetic) and have magnetic features. The Rocks are very hard and heavy...

Hi! So I've been finding these really cool and colorful rocks in eastern WY that are unlike anything I've seen before. Has anyone else? There are obvious fossils in what I think is a form of chalcedony (jasper?) but then there are also these little clear crystal agate pockets. The fossils look...

Hi, so today out in a nearby field i found this rock which looks volcanic to me, but i dont have much experience... Its was found in a field near a city which doesn't have any volcano activity there or even close, in fact the country (Portugal) does not have or had any active volcanoes. The rock...

Posted in Rocks/Gem and didn’t hear from anyone, but did have someone suggest fossilized coral on another website? Curious what this is!!

This rock was actually found in our yard and once we broke it up we found this (see pics). Can anyone tell me #1 What kind of rock this is? #2 Is this unusual? and #3 Is that Gold in it or something else ie. Pyrite etc. Any information would be greatly appreciated. A little background...

I believe these are some form if quartz but cannot find anything that is exactly the same to identify.

My child found this under the tree in our backyard, I think its Anthracite but would like a second opinion. Researching it, Anthracite is found near mountains or up north and im from the gulf coast of Texas so im a bit confused. Thank you in advance.

Found an interesting rock while picking up slag glass in a graveyard. Give me your thoughts please.

Hi all ~ I have found a very interesting rock on the shore of Lake Erie and am curious if anyone has ideas as to what it might be. I know nothing really about geology and rock identification but this seemed like a good place to start. The place where it was found is called Evangola State Park...

Hello, I live in Phoenix, AZ, I recently helped my Dad tare down the rock wall that has been in our front yard since we first moved in, 13 years ago. It was a beautiful wall, but he decided to expand. Not only were there rocks on the exterior, but 100's were cemented on the inside as well...

The rock is an inch long and weighs approx. 20 grams. It feels very smooth. It is a rusty brown color with a bit of a gloss. I'd be so grateful for any help!

Treasure hunted this at the Goodwill today :)

Hi, I wondered if any experts could tell me what type of stone this is, its around 4" it looks as may have been a stone tool possibly, Thanks ahead .

Went to the beach a few days back and found some gorgerous rocks. I've looked through my rock identification books, but I'm more of a shell expert. Anyone know what's up with this baby? It's insanely smooth and not at all brittle. It's black and the flat bits shine in the light, but there are...

Maybe not crazy just hopeful, do these look like drawings or just a weird rock?

These samples were found just north of the Keystone and Chaquita Mine just west of Goodsprings, Nevada. These two I believe are similar in composition to one another. I simply ground and polished the edge on one of the samples. These were found in crystalized sheets on the outside exposed...

Hi All! I have found this rock a couple days ago, and I would really appreciate any help anybody could offer regarding decoding/decyphering this rock. What the carvings might be, what it means, maybe some place it leads to, I have no idea. This is how I found it. And also, nearby...

Help identify this rock? Hello everyone, a contractor had seen this rock in my yard and told me it might be very valuable and collectible, i have a second similar one, could anyone tell me what it is or if it might actually have any value? Thanks everyone!

Found in Arizona desert. Magnetic. 189 grams.

Happened upon this rock a while back but still puzzled as to what it might be. I'm mostly a Native American artifact hunter so you can see why I just had to pick it up lol. Strange shape as if someone made it that way, and if not by some natural means there are 3 scratch/tally marks on the top...
