    Any ideas? And how?

    Looks metamorphic to me not igneous.

    Is this a geode?

    It appears to be solid clear through and not hollow. Is it spherical? If both are true, it is not a geode, although geodes are common in spots of neighboring Indiana. I suspect it’s also granular if you get a close look at it. It may be an ironstone nodule or concretion. If so, the iron...

    Think I Found The Old Home Place

    I have seen some references to privies in the 1600s. I have to wonder if those rock piles were actually the spoil piles and most of the dirt has been washed out and downhill.

    Need help identifying this find.

    It appears to be layered, and it appears to be micaceous. Do you have little shiny flecks all over it, some of which can flake off? If so, I am thinking a weathered mica schist.

    Found a couple of silvers today

    A two silver day is always good in my book!

    Rock id:

    Scrape one across a piece of unglazed porcelain tile. If you have a reddish streak, it is botryoidal hematite.
