Today I had a ton of chores to do, so I dug my rocks out and took pictures of some of them. Now I guess I will do the chores, but when I sit down I will play with the photos and post the results in this thread. Will probably add to it every now and again for a while.
This piece makes the hippie part of my soul happy, what with looking like yin and yang on one side. About an inch and a half in diameter, smoky quartz.
Fossil time. I only took pics of a few of these, but that still means a ton of pics for me to sort through. After this post, I better do dishes and dinner. I know very little about these pieces, I just shop for pretty things at the Gem Faire :).
@tippitiwichet Pic 2 is a trilobite of some kind. They were a very diverse and successful group for over 200 million years, surviving several mass extinction events, but finally died off during the Great Dying, 252M y.a.
Pic 3 is an ammonite, obviously. Again, this was a very successful group for many millions of years before going extinct as a result of the Chicxulub impact 66M y.a.
Pic 4 looks like a coral of some sort, but may be some other colonial critter.
@POOetryma It was sold as coral. Don't know how good the identification skills are of the seller, though.
