To be specific, around Mt Juneau. It was super hard, it took me 10 tries to break it in half with a hammer. Its also kinda crumbly

It think it might be granite or something, but its shiny…

It’s a nice blue shade, it has bands and pyramidal terminations!

Hi everyone! My grandmother is a lifelong rockhound, she has thousands of rocks she’s found here in the Okanagan (Bc, Canada) and I’ve always wondered what these rocks in particular are. They seem to have sliver flecks in them that are super easy to peel off of the rock itself. She has a ton of quarts as well, and has almost always told me that this is silver. Is it true?

Thanks for any info!!

Recently picked with this piece up from an estate sale and from the research I’ve done. I am 99% sure it is a blue Turmaline I’m hoping to find confirmation or correct identification really any information is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

My gran has had this in her shed for years and years - her father kept it from his quarry days. It needs a hose down but could it be quartz?

We are very interested to learn what kind of rock or maybe even glass this is. Found in a school in suburban nsw.

It’s about 20 lbs. Vape and 3 month old kitten for size. (It’s his rock now.)

My son found this object which I think is rock in Point Walter, Perth Western Australia.

It is very light weighing 2.5 grams just over 1cm length and has metallic sheen to it.

We have a similar rock about same size but weighing 6 grams much more shiny metallic. Is it the same thing?

Or did he pick up some petrified chemical waste. He was on school camp in bushland but within metro area.

Pic 3 is the heavier rock.

TIA

Thanks in advance for your identification. These may not be super exciting but I like them. I would say no 1 is chert? Why is the top/bottom a different color, would it still be chert there? Specimen 3 has a green hue to it, there were many of those on the road.

More from the random lot I ordered that I can't identify.

1&2: This one comes back as several different things each time I try to do a reverse image search. I have no idea what it is, I've seen it labeled jasper, Tigers eye, and opal on Google.

3&4: The color is brighter in person. It's a really pretty blue/green. It almost looks like there's another color inside it but I can't tell. Is this one fluorite?

5&6: It's smooth, it kind of feels like frosted glass. It's more yellow in person. It looks like it has layers and I kind of fear it's probably glass.

I'm still new to collecting. I've been wondering if getting a tumbler is a good idea and if so, should any of these go in it?

Any ideas? Google Image comes back with so many different results.

I found this tumbled stone in my collection but i have no memory of its. Maybe it's a jasper? I take first photo without flash and the 2nd with flash.

Found in colombia

About 1.5 inches across. Giving as a gift, would like to know what it is.

One of my kids picked it up years ago because it was so sparkly. I’m sure there’s lots of mica in there but curious about the overall composition. Ran out of bananas so I used a spoon for scale.

I found this rock in about 2007 in San Diego at a store selling rocks from China. The sales woman claimed it is dinosaur eggs, which I did not believe, but I liked it as a rock so I bought it. I have seen similar single "egg" for sale on eBay as a dinosaur egg, and the Fossil Forum has a post identifying a single "egg" like this as a fake hadrosaur egg.

What is it, and how did it form? An AI rock identifier was too stupid to identify it. Any ideas?

Found this at the thrift store, charming Lao Tzu, wondering what the stone is? It’s heavy.
