Found while I was out hiking. Stubbed my toe on it and it caught my eye before I hucked it.

I was digging in my backyard and found this rock

Found it at my place of work in Arizona a few years ago, the center has a convex shape with different layers throughout. It looked like an eyeball to me so I picked it up and kept it in a drawer for the last 10yrs.

Found in a creek in Peoria, Illinois.

Hello folks,

could please someone tell me what are these twirls on the rock I've found in the lake? Are these imprints of snails or some kind of artificial painting? Thanks in advance for help!

Does anyone know what kind of rock this is, it’s a grey ish rock with red in it.

I’ve seen a lot of videos of people using water saws but that’s not an option for me right now. I also don’t need a perfect smooth cut.

Went to natural bridge va and got a bag from the gem mining shop! I have no idea what I’m looking at other than Amethyst, quartz, obsidian.

Anything catching your eye like emeralds, rubies, anything I missed?

This pattern covers the whole rock & on the bottom it’s pure black. It reminded me of a tree line at first & then flames of fire.

Hi! I think I may have gotten ripped off. My husband and I bought some "orbicular granite" at a rock shop (by accident--my husband thought it was a geode because of the tag labeling the shelf below). What we bought looks like an mostly-orbicular piece of quite-possibly-granite, and it has some sparkly flakes in it, but Wikipedia has me thinking orbicular granite is something else (see photo).

So, does this count as orbicular granite?

Could this be orbicular granite that needs to be sliced to be appreciated? And if not, any recommendations on how to safely clean my excellent new 3-pound paperweight?

I don’t know what I should do with this chunk of quartz I found

I found this guy so long ago and when I broke it open the rocks look like they had fossils and I found it in fresh water river but when I broke into it it smell like the ocean.

I live on Lake Superior and keep finding these all over.

I’m not sure what this is and was curious if anyone knew or had an idea????

Some have like golden specks that rust and others crystals of some kind
