🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Found 2 rocks - What are they>>?

[Speeddemon84]

Hello! I feel like I've been to this forum before long ago. Can't remember. Ha.

Here goes -

ROCK #1

1). I went for a daily walk at the park, and found this rock laying on a deserted bench. (Snatched it hehe). What is it? This rock is very pretty to me. It's I don't know the word, it's sparkly. It's kind of sharp and prickly. Seems unusual to find it where I live (Washington state, USA). I mostly see plain rocks around here. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I feel like I get an adrenaline rush every time I see a rock I like and take it home. Thank you for helping if you anything to say !!

ROCK #2


2). I found this rock walking back home. I walk near traffic so it's was on the side of the road, where other rocks usually are.

Hi

Welcome back to the "Show"!

Rock 1: I believe is Snow Quartz Also known by the names Milky Quartz, and white quartz.



Snow Quartz Also known by the names Milky Quartz, and white quartz. Snow Quartz helps with mental stress and improves mental concentration. Snow Quartz is a gentler, more feminine variety of Quartz, as compared to the clear varieties of quartz which are thought to be more masculine. Snow quartz and innocence are often used in the same context. Some people feel that wearing this gemstone help them look at things from a child-like perspective, without preconceived and cynical notions. They become hopeful and wise. This is how a gemologist explained the action of snow quartz: "When we wear snow quartz, it reminds us that the word 'wonderful' comes from the word 'wonder'. And that if we'll look at the world from the eyes of a child again, 'pure wonder' is what we will experience." From healing point of view, snow quartz are used to help with infections of all kinds and for dandruff.

I believe Rock 2: is mariposite

Thank you. I'm heavily thinking of moving to Oregon possibly this year.

I don't think the second rock is Mariposite it looks more like another type of quartz. True Mariposite has only been found in Mariposa California. That is why it is named as such.

It was named for Mariposa, California, United States, though it can be found in several other places in the Sierra Nevada. It is also found in Marblemount, Washington, in the North Cascades

Picture one is Drusy Quartz (Drusy (or druzy) is a geological term applied to quartz that forms a layer of closely spaced small crystals. Read More: Druzy

As for the second one. I think it is a type of Moonstone; orthoclase feldspar gemstones with varying compositions, typically with alternating layers of orthoclase and albite.

What part of Oregon are you thinking about?

What part of Oregon are you thinking about?

Probably Portland. I'm still exploring where to go in the future. As long as I'm miles and miles away from where I am. I'd be happier.

I have a rock I think is possibly mariposite but I’m not sure. I got it from a rockhound in WA state. Can anyone ID it?
