    What is this mineral/stone

    Help ID Rock

    No idea on the rock but it looks like an old fish net weight. If you google "rock fish net weights" you will see some. Could be very very old too.

    Pics aren't real sharp but I don't see smoky quartz, I see more of a milky quartz. Very interesting on that pyrite that geode. I wonder how it got there. Maybe Geologyhound has more info on that for me.

    Only thing I can make out is 1101 and 1100 look like fossils. I stay far away from them. :) 1102 looks like a pyrite nodule. Can't help on anything else except to say you have a collection of rocks. :) :) Keep posting some others and we can try and help.
