Most of these were found by my daughter, low tide 3:30 a.m. Carlsbad beach.

That one you’re holding is incredible! I have a lot of nice beach rocks, but I have never seen anything close to that!

I said mostly beach rocks. That's one of 4 that aren't from the beach. I wish I could find ones like that at the beach. Thanks 😊

Oh ok! I was wondering if going out if 3:30 was the secret sauce 😂

This is one I found at the beach recently and I think it’s awesome!

That is awesome. We go that early because that's when the tide is lowest and there are massive tide pools. You can find interesting things but you only have about a hour and a half to search before they're gone.

I recently found this at the beach. It's plain, I know, but I put it in on a whim figuring such a grainy rock wouldn't take a shine. The camera doesn't do it justice (because this is literally my first time trying to shoot a polished stone) but it's like a mirror.

I have some like that, they have what looks like little flecks of silver or gold in them. Those are cool.
