  • nice finds I'm going to Georgia soon to visit a friend I can't wait!

  • @enterscope Thanks for your comment, Georgia is a lot of fun to travel through! Enjoy!

  • the greyish greens im not sure whats it but it dont look like emeralds.

    Orange browns could be carnelian if theres banded lines. If not then i dont know either.

    the yellow brown clear could be yellow citrine or yellow clear calcite,

    the full blue is sodalite, the strike blue maybe a lazulite (lapis lazuli),

    purple amethyst,

    lime green maybe olivine or peridot due to the size but still not sure.

    clear white are quartz, not so clear maybe milky quartz, little pink rose quartz

  • @rephfy So appreciate the analysis. I am humbled by your knowledge. So neat to have found these "rocks". I would like to go out west and do some rock hunting, a lot of fun and quite mind expanding. Thank you!

  • Nice collection...

  • @spawn00x Thank you!

  • nice stones

  • @WorkFromHome001 welcome, the black might just be obsidian (thats the one made into weapons) The one you said sand stone, it might be agate but if it looks metalic shiny then it could be tiger eye. But anyways im no expert either, you need to test em all to see what it really is. =]

  • @cgw34743474 Thank you to one who obviously has more understanding of such issues. I was amazed to find so many types of rocks in this part of the country.

    Thank you for the analysis!

  • most of the rocks are quartz based like the clear purple is amithest the round black looks like obsidian the clear ones are quartz the green is probably emerald and i like the blue but i cant remember what it is called. they aren't worth much until thy are cut into jems
