I have received some really nice Rock from folks here doing trades and what not, but unfortunately I’ve Lost track of what it is and what it isn’t. So I’m going to be posting a few pictures over the next coming weeks and try to get these straight in my head. Here’s the first of ‘em and many thanks! #1   #2   #3  |

Wildhorse. Jaspagate. Sandstone. Thanks! The one you said sandstone is around a six on the mohs scale. Originally, I was thinking it was candy rhyolite, but it doesn’t look like other candy rhyolite I have. |

Wow, I Google it for fun. I didn’t realize sandstone was a six to a seven on the mohs scale. I was thinking it was much softer. Interesting. I love learning.

#1 Wild horse
#2 Rhyolite similar to frog skin jasper but different. phenocrysts make it a rhyolite for sure
#3 is also a rhyolite like wonderstone

2nd one looks identical to a rhyolite I find here in Southern Nevada. 3rd looks like Wonderstone (rhyolite) You’re the one that sent the green speckled stone to me then. It’s been a while and I forgot. Thank you so much! |
