ROCKS! Any like rocks or gems?

Is there anyone on OG interested in gemstones or certain rocks as collectors and show prices?

The amethyst came from le Manche lead and silver mine in Newfoundland. The very shiny metal looking rock is galena, which is 90% lead and 2% silver. The final yellow looking crystal is citroline.

I found this while collecting goat and cow :poop: was hoping it’s a rough diamond but more than likely it’s just regular quartz crystal. What do you think?

Newfoundland amethyst can be easily told apart from amethyst anywhere else in the world.
Considered Royal Purple Amethyst

Not much for gemstone in my immediate area, maaaybe garnet and jasper , much more jasper from what I see, though what there seems to be an excess of is, petrified/fossilized wood hundreds of lbs have been collected through the years, just 2 bits in arms range here

This one reminds me of the grain in a nice fish fillet

Jasper isn’t found much around here. I would trade a small chunk of amethyst for some jasper @Cannasseur

Certainly down to trade, we can work something out over dm @Xianpreservation83

I collect rocks… but only the valuable kind hehe
This tote of rocks held a mighty surprise :wink: About 30K worth

Yass! Very much. Will share pics later.

I’m a big rock fan. 🪨 There is a ton of quartz, mica and rumor has it garnet in my area. I haven’t been hunting yet, but you can find fairy stones in the park here.
