Was going through the rocks wrapped up on the back porch and ran into a few I was wondering if you could help me with.
1) These rocks are purple purple purple. They don't seem like fluorite to me.
2) I picked this up on my trip to the 79 Mine near Superior. I know what the cute pyrite cubes are, but its matrix is mainly lavender, with pink and green. Any ideas? At first I thought cement but there isn't any cement there.
3) This is a hand-sized chunk of pet wood from a nice haul in Northern AZ. Is it agatized or opalized? It was laying on the ground like this. The area we were in, we were basically walking on nothing but pet wood. Some pieces were so huge we couldn't even think about bringing them back. It was a public area. My geologist friend knew about it.
4) This feels as weird as it looks. Almost greasy. It's a fair sized piece. Not very attractive but I liked how odd it was.
Thanks!
