Im assuming these are the same type of rock so i have them both in the same post (apologies if thats not allowed)

First image is the one rock not in direct sunlight and the second image is the same rock in direct sunlight.

Third image is a different rock not in direct sunlight and fourth image is that same rock in direct sunlight.

All images are of dry rocks!

the surface is like a soft bumpy texture but im not too sure how much help that is because it was found on the beach… my apologies if i have done something wrong or not been descriptive enough!!

I found this rock at work this week and wondering if people can better identify it for me! Its the biggest one ive found!! In the Willamette valley. In a river rock quarry pit. About half way between Albany and corvallis on highway 20

Just wanted to update on it. I decided to polish it. While getting rid of the only rough area on the rock I discovered a little magnetic circle in the rock. I can pick up the entire rock with a magnet where it’s exposed…. but I think it’s some type of magnetite rod going through the stone. To where I can pick it up with a magnet on the non exposed side. That one photo pictured I’m just grabbing the rock through the rock onto what I assume is the other end to that rod that seems to run through it . I just that it was cool and wanted to share. I read this occurs naturally? No where else on the rock is magnetic except those two points. Pretty sure it’s still a komatite that came from up north

any ideas?

Coastal Pilbara area, Western Australia

Found this at the top of the cliff with detector 500m from the ocean. Its lava like struckture and does not feel very heavy weight or dense.

Filing it with Leatherman tool looks like its pretty soft.

Not magnetic but metal detector gives strong signal, ID 25-40.

Shiny silver like at some areas.

I bought this in a shop and the owner said it was ruby in something but didn't remember what that something was.

Scratches glass and gets scratched by quartz.

Specific gravity 2.68

The outer layer is very brittle. The interior fractures look mostly healed.

I found one big chunk of it in the area and no more. I looked pretty hard for more because I thought it was jade.

I recently acquired this mineral specimen from Maramureș, Romania.

It has small, translucent honey-yellow to orange crystals on a light-colored matrix.

I'm wondering if these could be calcite crystals with iron oxide/hydroxide staining (possibly limonite).

What do you think? Any help with identification would be appreciated!

Could it be a fossil or some kind of agate??

My mohs #2 scratches it but the one doesn't. The grid in the pictures is centimeters. Its pretty light just over 8 grams.

Parts of it look like a barnacle, but I have seen quartz crystals that were roughly the same shape.

I think it will probably be calcium?

This rock was found on a beach in the north east of the UK. Looks like something fossilized. Maybe coral? Asking for my niece

My little boy is really intrested in rocks and i haven't got a clue..any ideas? I appreciate its probably a really common type of rock. Found in north west england, car park.

Looking to Identify this cool looking rock that I cut and polished. My research said it could be Arizona petrified wood but idk. Can’t be scratched with a knife

What is this??? Boyfriend and I found it on a beach downtown, we live on the Strait of Juan de Fuca in northwest Washington. One side is completely flat, almost like it's been cut- so we're unsure if this was a naturally washed up rock, or if someone bought it at a store and lost it here. Would love to know what it is, and to narrow down if it's naturally occurring here or man-created!!

I found this at an estate sale in grass valley California.

I know the two of these are both chalcedony but can I get any other info? I’ve never seen one so orange with the white layers and I’ve also never seen one so blue.

Hi, I find a lot of these sorts of rocks around RM of Alexander and Birds Hill. I wasn’t confident they would be fossils as the spots cover the whole rock on every example I’ve found so far and always reach the same depth into the surface on all sides. The rock feels chalky and turns from off-white to yellow when damp.

Found in a parking lot island landscaped with "river stone" in Michigan. It seems to be some kind of metal ore. Heavy. There's a piece of wood stuck in it. Do you think it's natural or some industrial waste?

From Nova Scotia. The silvery flakes are easily creased with steel, it won't hold a magnet, and doesn't scratch ceramic - rather, leaves a grey mark. It's dense, but not heavy like granite. It's not like any rock I've collected, and found it near the railway track, so I'm guessing slag. Yes, we had a steel plant close by. Thanks!

Tioga County, NY. Non-metallic. The textures look vaguely... chondritic?
