I would really like someone to donate a picture of a rock or mineral for the forum...

As a geologist I had some interesting pictures, but they come from Italy, it's ok ? or you are interested only in US rocks ?

Don't know about anyone else but this old rock hound would like to see them.

Here's a bracelet & ring I made, mounted in silver. I bought a chunk of malachite at the gem & mineral show in Tucson and over the years I cut, polished & mounted many items from it.

Very nice work.
Your request is a good one but you fail to say what the end purpose will be.
As most know, the pictures in classic " Rock & Gem " books are not what one
will / can find in the field. If you mean that kind then there will be more interest
and use to everyone. Even better is " About .com " Geology; it has all anyone
could ever want about rocks and gems in it, presented how a person can understand
and learn by a real geologist . No better information out there than this !

First 2 pictures:
at left:
This volcanic bomb hit the cinder deposit, can you see the deformed strata that indicate the direction of impact
at right:
a concglomerate rock over a sandstone with white shells, showing the changing of coast line and different sedimentation.
Second row of pictures:
at left:
Alpine glaciers grind this granite.
At right:
can you recognize a marble without scratch the surface ?? this marble is so white and cristalline that we need a good artist to bring the statue out of it, note the elicoidal wire used by old timers to cut marble years before diamond bit came on market.
