what is the rock

[thaiturkey]

I am a rock hound. I saw the word rock and had to join in. I attend several gem & mineral shows each year. I LOVE what the earth provides for us in the way of BLING!!! That is a smokey quartz geode she has there that is well developed. I have a couple that are "newbies" but they throw a lot of light when you look closely. My ultimate goal is to find a red jasper sphere. I have a really NICE florite sphere.

Orps is lucky to have found one in a naturally broken state. It's sad that so many of these things have been hacked apart for profit.

Yes it is and that is what I have. Coconut geodes that we paid for and had split. That one she has is a gem for sure. She needs to look for the other half. Those crystals are very mature and worth more.

I found a big rock a few years ago, i am looking at it right now. It is perfectly round, and looks like a petrified grapefruit :/
I named it.. well i named it Bob.. Bob the rock

I can only wonder if Bob has something inside him, but the world will never know!! haha

Wait til you can have it cut. If it looks like a rock baseball, it's a geode and there could be just about ANY mineral inside.
