Live in Massachusetts on a fault line. Home built in 1850, findings in my dirt cellar

[taralynne]

We live in Massachusetts on the NH border in a town called Merrimac Ma. Its on a fault line. My home was built in 1850 and has a dirt basement. I wanted help identifying crystals or gemstones in rocks I found.

1st - I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard Taralynne! Take a look at Forum:Maine for information (i.e., clubs, etc.) directly related to your state.

2nd - I moved ya from TODAY'S FINDS! over to ROCKS/GEMS for more exposure.

If I see correctly, that second photo looks like quartz with gold in it. Your last one may also be gold in quartz.

The first image (red pitted blurry rock) looks kinda like a Lake Superior agate ...not saying it is but better photos may help with an ID.
