toiv0 . What is your favorite rock/rocks?

I guess I don't really have a favorite. I do love all the things with moss and plume, love Montanas, lakers and Mary Ellen. Colors, swirls, eyes, pictures. Did i miss a rock? Turquoise is awesome, I like the wild horse jasper with the brown and white clouds. I seem never to hang onto favorites...if someone really likes something I just say its yours. I even like the howlite, kind of porcelain.
Can I keep adding to the list?
what is yours?

Have noticed that a lot of it is being dyed turquoise and other colors. What is the Mohs? Have you ever tried dying it? I like the natural color and shape.

Mohs about 5, have never tried to dye it. this material takes a nice porcelain like finish.
