Hello,

Could you please help me identify the rock I found at the beach?View attachment 1398947View attachment 1398948

Thank you!

A porphyry, possibly of a dioritic composition. The white you see is feldspar.

I posted this in the mineral forum, but this was the thread I was looking for. Did I miss out on the gold and just found the remaining quartz?

You got a reply over on the other section from me, but to summerize:
There's only one way to find out! Crush & pan or do a assay.
I'd check for more similar rocks before I do any of the above. (i.e. check out the source, get a couple of specimens to compare results of either test)

Ah, glassy things ain't my strong point. Take my thoughts with a pinch of salt.
Roughly where was it found? Obsidian comes to mind, so does slag. Slag is usually more "porous", from gas bubbles. But it's not always the case.
If metal production was near, I'd guess slag. However, if obsidian has been found there before, I'd go with that.

Looks a lot like what's called "Lightning stone" This one was found by Lake Michigan.

It would probably be helpful of you to at least give your state and county. Rocks are hard enough to identify in pictures but if people can at least research the area they were found in then they can usually give an educated guess of what you are picturing.

Hello - we found this round stone in a creek in north Georgia. Wondering what it is. It looks like it might have quartz on the surface. Is this a geode? It's very round.

I forgot to ask. What's the best way to clean rocks found in a creek?

 

[millie99]

Of course, I live in North Georgia, USA. on the Georgia Gold Belt.

I have a bunch of rocks that I can't seem to identify. I see that this page hasn't been used since 2013. So before I go through the trouble of posting any pictures can you send me a quick reply so I know my pictures will be looked at?
