Hi can someone please identify this rock please

[Skylee]

Hello, I am skylee, I have a lot of rocks I am hoping you can identify for me. I have been getting rocks for years and these ones I will be putting on I got yesterday. This one is so cool, I have never seen one like it with the black lines in the white. It is 1.22oz 1 1/2"tall,1 1/4"wide 1"thick. Thank you.

That's a long time. Have you considered learning to identify them yourself? Most of us learned this stuff when we were kids--it's not rocket surgery. 😉

Rocks and minerals must be examined in person from all perspectives for accurate identification; they are extremely difficult to identify through photographs. You will get the best results by taking your rock or mineral to a local source where it can be handled and examined closely...

Not where I went to school! 👨🏼‍🎓
They taught us the difference between PLANTING and BURYING! ️😁🤣

.... Which can happen when an Ag & Tech school teaches Agriculture and Mortuary Science in the same building...

FYI.....This is our rock forum, it is the forum for members to find help in identifying their unknown rocks and displaying members rock finds.

If you really want to learn what type of rocks you have, join a few geology, rockhounding, or lapidary clubs. Easy.

Time for more coffee.

Ok, Here you go. It's a rounded quartz pebble. The lighter material is probably one of the feldspars and the black triangular-ish pieces are schorl Tourmaline.

Tourmaline? I would have thought the black lines were hornblende.

Hornblende is normally chunkier, not needle like.
