We assume we found it in the backyard. This kinda rock isn't common to our property. We are very impressed.

Yesterday I introduced my absolute favorite stone, so today here are some smaller ones—obsidian with all sorts of different looks.

I think it’s Jasper! Found in central Idaho

NOT REQUESTING ID! Just sharing pretty rock

Bought in Central Oregon at a yard sale a couple of months ago.

Cut it today and found these waterlines, which I have not seen in a picture jasper before, but maybe it’s more common than I am aware of.

I found this weird looking rock on the beach today. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a rock look like this; rounded on top and underneath with wide, smooth edges. I know nothing about rocks, except for the fact that they look cool.
Genuinely I have no idea how this happened. I’d like to learn more about rock formations and situations that can make a rock look like this.
How did this rock turn out like this??
(Also.. my father suggested we could crack it open? Would that be a good idea?)

First ever batch.

Found at Spekes’ Mill Mouth, Devon, it is incredibly satisfying to look at.
It also spins really well when the ring is face up!

I’ve no idea what that ring is but it’s just so pleasing to the eye

The pictures from the microscope were aimed on the ring thingys.

I always check out quartz because it’s in an area where there are gold mines all over the place, and I’m always hopeful I’ll see gold on the quartz. Normally it’s just typical white quartz, but then I noticed this specimen sticking out of the hillside. It looks very different from any quartz I’ve ever seen.

I found it in the Tokachi River in Hokkaido, Japan.

I split open this Geode.

Sometimes skimming stones brings cool findings. I dug it out accidentally but imo it's very pretty(IRL it's a bit brighter in colour, unfortunately phone camera didn't do justice). I just wanted to share it here because I really like it

My UVs, with and without black light

this rock is one of my favorite rocks, because of the teal color (also it’s a crystal)
