Looks like quartz and mica, the orange is rust. I don't want to brag but I found a piece of quartz and mica with aqua marine and the crystals? (Probably not the right word) of quartz and mica were 1 to 2". My point is to look for the same stuff with bigger crystals Ryan flic.kr/p/V2wybt

I think this stone is cool, most granites consists of feldspar, quartz, hornfels/magnetite/hematite and or mica. A granite with chert and I'm thinking the green is epidote, which is a metasomatic process, is really cool! Ryan

There were to many people complaining about going into a store and asking for b batteries and the store worker gets confused cause he/she thinks that they're asking for "thee batteries". So now it's called the baaghdad battery, but the whole "b battery" thing ruined it's reputation and it was forgotten Ryan en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baghdad_BatteryThat's awesome Ok smarty.....
Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

Left look "clam like". Right could be side views of a long snail, or the impression from one? Sorry, do not know specific names. No worries, I like your snail idea, the long fossils really resemble the snail shells thank you

The two on the left look like they could be some sort of bi-valve. Not sure about the long ones. Thank you very much !

Our thoughts are mostly chemical reactions from outside influence, if you don't understand this then you think you are your thoughts and these chemical reactions are what controls you. You only control your brain and your body when you think with right brained logic and reason, cause there is little emotion from right brained thinking, emotions are chemical reactions in your brain that are ment to control your mind so your body survives the situation your in

This is my favorite piece of sandstone given to me by a friend of a friend that had to move to Iowa with his wife and kids and needed someone to clean up his yard stones and I was the lucky one, his yard had amazonite, smokey quartz, lots of clear quartz. I only met Ernie once hope he's doing well and if you happen to be phils friend ernie know that everything I took is being taken care of Ryan flic.kr/p/Z59u5m

Not paint stone. That is a sandstone from California. The stuff zarguy mentioned is a Utah native. Thanks for the help, Ryan (and I keep forgetting to reply your 200# question sorry, the pieces in the" more brecciated stone" are for sale small one on the right is 35#s, not sure bout price just hoping for a good offer)

Looks a lot like Indian Blanket jasper. Where was it found? Lynn The area is by lake George Colorado, it was found in an alluvial deposit from the glacial flood that happened bout 13 thousand years ago and the deposit has lots of variety

Found more of this stuff, both chunks have been cleaned with a power washer and chips of the Grey chunks sound like glass. Anyone familiar with this stuff? I'm not sure about it being dead camel jasper but I'm a newb. flic.kr/p/YwEzgf
