A rock
Nice one!
Formed by quartz precipitating in multiple episodes in a cavity.
Very nice specimen!
Calcite if I think. The purple is fluorite, the base is sphalerite.
Correct
Geo here, that is glass slag, not a rock.
More likely glass slag.
I just started rereading this!
Nice specimen!
Yes, that is a nice example of bioturbation.
Nice conglomerate. Glacial deposit?
That is an older meme sir, but it checks out.
Could be, at least part of it. But the blue parts I am fairly sure it's bornite, which occurs commonly with chalcopyrite.
Those opal veins though..
The Pacific, same people that made Band of Brothers
Gabbro!
Would agree
Some sort of fossils. I think some form of shells. Try to carefully crack it open!
Ones are? Corals? Teeth? Or rocks?
An the polished green-grey one in the centre aquamarine. But it is difficult from those pictures! Do you know what the white elongated ..
Bottom right is a sulphide ore, bornite I think. The waxy yellow might be sulfur.
The mottled brown one is jasper. The clear polished one is quartz. The clear blue one in the centre turquoise. The metallic one in ..
Gonna try: blue top left is Sodalite, the clear one to the right of it quartz, below (white one translucent) gypsum.
Are you going to tumble or polish them?
That is a gabbro with augite (an amphibole, not pyroxene) in feldspar groundmass.
+1 for Jason Isbell, he is awsome
I can't be the only one enjoying this while taking a dump myself.
Looks like a seriously nice fieldwork area!
