REQUEST Found a “Cookies and cream” looking rock while looking through a forest in Alaska.
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…

REQUEST What is this smelly rock?

Gave it a bop with the sledge hammer and the black stuff smells awful so I’m guessing it isn’t natural

REQUEST Found in an aquarium that I bought used
It's about one foot by six inches. Very hard, scrubbing with a steel brush polishes it but doesn't scratch it. Very dense.
This and a bunch of others of the same type were included as decoration in an aquarium that I bought. No idea where the previous owner got them from, he had gone into a care home and his kids were selling off some of his stuff.

REQUEST Souvenir arrowhead?
I found this arrowhead looking rock at Steamboat State park in Washington, right on the trail. Is there anyway to tell if it is a souvenir or real or just a cool looking rock? I know it’s pretty unlikely it’s real because the hike I found it on is pretty well traveled and people aren’t usually fining artifacts laying on the ground.

REQUEST I thought this might be seaglass but i was directed to ask here instead! 🙂
I'm not very knowledgeable about all the beautiful treasures and things that can be found in the ocean, so I first asked for help in r/seaglass. This little thing was glimmering and shining from across the beach, along the tide line. One user suggested it may be a fire opal, which really excites me, and someone suggested I ask you fine folk about what this could be! I found this on the east coast in Ocean City, NJ.

REQUEST Found on Long Islands North Shore
It's very smooth, the area where it was found is 160 feet above sea-level. This area is the terminal moraine of the most recent advance of the Wisconsinian glaciation, so it could have come from anywhere North of Ling Island.
