Todays finds from someone who knows NOTHING!

[gg4you4170]

While digging in my back yard in Texas, I found this gold brown rock, it looks like petrified wood? Am I correct? And while I'm at it, this second picture is a rock that I've had for 30 years. It came from an old professor who had a rock collection from all over the world. Does anyone know what it is? It's about the size of a basketball and weighs more than I want to pick up.
Thanks for allowing me to join. I've always been digging around never knowing what I've found but I have quite an interesting collection!The plants growing on this rock are tiny little plants about the size of your fingernail.

Thanks again,
Vicki

it sure could be petrified wood...it is a salicious stone that is of the chalcedony variety. the big rock looks like iron pyrite in a quartz matrix, with some other minerals like lead, galena etc. ...the sort of thing that you would find mining...i have similar ones taken from old silver mines.
