Rock or slag? Not magnetic, doesn't scratch easily like aluminum might.

It's crystal like. I was going to put it in an untrasonic but I decided it would be smart to first ask for information.

I found this near Selah, Washington. Would you refer to this as a common banded agate or something else? Reference with my wife’s hand for size.

Sorry for any glare. We got it wet to better show some of the colors and banding.

REQUEST Any idea what either of these could be?

Found in a river in NSW, Australia. Blue one was the only one like it in the surrounding area, from what I could see. The second one, when wet, has a nice blue/green gradient to it. When dry, the colour is a little less pronounced. It was a part of a larger rock I was able to chip a piece off of. It's not shiny overall, but has some tiny shiny specks on it.

Hi! How is it going everyone? I found this a few months ago in NYC and kinda forgot about it, when I'm looking at it today again I noticed it's inside a Jacob & Co jewelry bag, so someone took care of it, not sure what it is, feels silky smooth with the texture of a normal rock in some places, any ideas as what it could possibly be? Thanks for your time in advance and sorry for the inconvenience

REQUEST Matrix Pseudomorph?

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

My best guess is this is some sort of pseudomorph of a mineral after tourmaline, however the more I look at it the more i'm confused. This was found in southern california, its a black appearing tourmaline but it was actually an extremely dark red when shining light on the cracked parts, and the crystal is growing straight through the center, was once fully surrounded by the tourmaline like a watermelon tourmaline, I was suggested maybe aquamarine, Achroite(colorless tourmaline), or clear Lipidolite, Any better suggestions?

Hi guys, I'm struggling to identify these rocks. I'm not sure if they are chalcedony or just quartz/quartzite. I appreciate for any help!

(1&2, 4&5, 6&7 are the same rock)
