    Rock Identification Help

    If you google "meteorite magnetic" you will get a better idea. Too much to copy and paste here. But yes they are pretty much magnetic but not always. A week magnetic attraction (chondrodite) is weakly magnetic. An iron nickel one is pretty strongly magnetic. Your specimen does not look at...

    Rock Identification Help

    Sure it's possible. Vancouver had many glaciers that have since retreated and formed rivers. If you have a rock and gem club near you see if someone can cut a small piece off of it to see the internal structure. This done on many meteorites to see what kind it is. And by small I mean small...

    Pink rocks found around Lake Michigan ID?

    Could be datolite. On two of the pieces you show you showed as an example the pink does have that black outline like yours does. Datolite has a hardness of 5-5.5 so it would be scratched with a knife.

    Pink rocks found around Lake Michigan ID?

    I looked around for this and couldn't really find anything just like that but from what I did see it might be an agate. The whitish material looks like quartz. The pink I have no idea. Lake Michigan shores seem to be a great place to collect rocks as they were deposited by glaciers and came...

    Silver at $50 Gold at $4000

    I've seen this also but have no real answer. One of the best sources for real time silver pricing is COMEX. A lot of other sites that post the prices deal in the buying and selling of metals so maybe they are quoting a price to entice selling so they quote the price a bit high to draw...

    Unknown shine in a pebble?

    From what looks like a platy structure I'm leaning towards mica.

    What is this ??

    Ah, better. Try scratching it with a knife. Now it looks like quartz. If it does not scratch then it is likely quartz.

    What is this ??

    No, the forum is not dead. No one has an idea. Now my first thought was that gray stuff that shows up yellow somehow, assuming you were using a white light and not ultraviolet, was not a mineral but some goop that just got on the rock. If using a white light that color makes no sense if it...

    Fossil

    My fossil knowledge is limited so I had to look that one up. I think you are more correct than my comment once I looked at pictures of those things.

    What is this mineral/stone

    I couldn't figure out how to add a comment to picture when I pasted it. So here is my SWAG-Magnetite. that's what the picture is. This has troubled me for awhile so I finally did some more looking but magnetite does have a lower SG than what you report.
