Quarry rocks

[unitas]

Hi everyone. I usually post in the Indian artifact section but I'd thought I'd share these with you.I work in a Limestone quarry and upon occasion find rocks that are pretty enough for me to pick up and drag home.This first one has pretty cubes that remind me of Coca-Cola.(obviously I'm no rock hound,I think my Identifications will show this).



This second and third photo shows darker cubes which I call Root Beer stones.





This last photo shows the other styles of "crystals" I find, the white variety and the yellow.

Maybe quartz crystals and the flaky one is muscovite

Give web minerals a shot...

It's a lotta fun to look through!

Either way, you should bring home a couple every day in your lunchbox!
