I found this rock on my father in law’s property,
Does anyone know what kind of rock this is ? Looks like scoria type outside, but very shiny and bright inside !
What is it ?
I will appreciate your answer and your help . Thank you
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!
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?
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...
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:

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...
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...
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.
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!
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...
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!
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...

My son brought this over, wanting to know if I could find out what it is. I thought u could find out on my own so I didnt get the best pics for you guys, I couldn't find anything. It almost looks like and feels like flint but not sure. The layers are confusing, I want to think it might be...
I have a vague idea for some of these but for the most part I'm stumped, I bought a small collection recently and have been looking through my collection from when I was really young and these are the last ones I have to identify. Please let me know if I need to take more pictures or provide...
Hi everyone, I was digging up my back yard and found quite a large rock (within a meter of digging) which looked a bit like a meteorite or some valuable rock like quartz. I'm really unsure, it doesn't have magnetic power but it has, what looks like 3 layers: a previous core, simple rock and then...
