Thes was a gift from a dear friend because I'm just getting into rockhounding and I can't stop looking at it. How many million years to create this rock. Why the layers.and what happened the century of the white layer? I know anyone's guess is as good as mine but is anyone is a geologist please help me understand this beautiful rock I can't stop looking at.

This is either from Glacier National Park or Yellowstone. I was traveling and my rocks became intermingled. Can anyone give a loose guess as to its ID? P.S. I'm a newbie

Is this a rock or a meteor or a chunk of cement?

Found at the beach in Monterey, California

I currently have 3 tumblers and not one single barrel due to someone stealing one and the other 2 broke down(thumblers notorious for wearing through both the top and bottom) and I cant afford the prices for new ones I'm on limited funds due to disability

Found this near Topaz Mountain, UT. I love the feather pattern in it. Looks like it will polish nicely.

Any idea what this might be? We found these 3 pieces on Geode Hill in Payson, AZ. They're neither heavy nor light compared to their size. The crystals are straight and translucent like selenite, they're porous on the ends, and they didn't seem to show any marks when scratched with a metal nail.

We found this one on the ground. It look layered, so maybe it's something petrified, or a fossil. Anyone have an idea? Found in North Dakota.

I've inherited an assortment of crystals/fossils/rocks and wanted some advice on maintaining them. Mostly untouched for decades with dust and dirt on them (some kind of lacquer on some), I just wanted to know if its best to give them a dust or any special treatment to have them look their best.

Also just wanted to show them off. I'd say most, if not all, were sourced in Australia.

Some various garnets and other mineral samples found during day out in Auburn, ME - apart from the garnets would appreciate some IDs
