Experimenting with making necklaces from beach stones

My dog dug up a bunch of these the other day on the edge of my property in Massachusetts. I was looking online to try to identify them, but it was difficult to nail down an exact type. Wasn’t magnetic, nor does it feel very dense. It broke quite easily when dropped on the ground. Anybody have any ideas?

Found in backyard, just curious what this is?

I found this rock probably over 20 years ago. I don't remember where. It had this perfect bowl naturally worn into it. I grabbed it cuz it was cool. A couple years later I took a masonry bit and drilled from the point into the "bowl" so I could smoke pot out of it.....Yeaaaa.... I never really knew how it got this cup in it. Any ideas?

I dug this up in my backyard. I thought it was kinda cool so I tried cleaning it. It's got some white crystally looking stuff and the silver areas have a metallic gleam. I was cleaning it with a wire brush and it was throwing small sparks. I also soaked it in acid. I don't know if that was bad or not but I just wanted to get a better look. I think I removed a little clarity from the white crystally parts with the acid and wire brush. Oh well. The hole in the center goes right through.

This rock was found years ago in a potato field and I’m not sure what it is for or anything, what’s it for? It’s perfectly round as well

Help identify my green and purple rock, thank you!

Found these pretty rocks I found (okay the grey one is nothing special but it had some pretty patterns on it). Not sure what they are though.  I don't know anything about rocks and stones so I thought I would come here, doubt they are anything special.

My hard work of scoping parking lots around me has paid off. I found a lake superior agate! Absolutely thrilled over here.

Scored in a parking lot in suburban MN

Got it at the Tucson gem and mineral show from a vendor. Thought it looked cool so I bought it ($30 for anyone curious). There was only a price tag and the girl running the booth didn’t know anything about this piece. She was covering for the owner at the time. Anyway, it has some spots that glow under UV light.

Can anyone tell me what this is its reddish in color.

I hit a rock while tilling my garden. After I rinsed it off I noticed it's full of little black stones. I've never seen another like it, and I've grabbed a lot of rocks from my farmer neighbor lately. I live in central mn. Think it was dropped here by another person?

Did a thing. 

My daughter found this reddish stone with gold flecks on the beach here in Vancouver. Can someone please help us identify? The picture doesn't really do a great job of showing off the gold or pyrite sprinkled on the surface. Thank you

What is this reddish stone with gold flecks?

If these are fake (probably are) do y’all know what theyre from?

I found it on a hike and cracked it open a while ago, and I know the coloration is unusual, so I’d love to know what it is.

Gneiss!

In a world full of insanity and groups full of toxicity I always look forward to the rock posts.  The jokes are clever, and the answers are intelligent (most of the time).  Keep up the great work!
