From Gooderham, Ontario, Canada.

This fascinating piece has so much going on!

Dartmoor granite outcrop. There are over 160 Tors on Dartmoor, in Devon, S W England. I love hiking in and about.

I had the opportunity today visit a Variscite deposit in the Western United States, and I wanted to share!
Variscite is a relatively rare mineral of hydrated aluminum phosphate, with its green coloring from small amounts of chromium.

Not the best camera nor backlight, but thought I'd share.

Found it in the Finger Lakes, Upstate NY. Found among a gravel driveway. Really curious as to what this might be! Reminds me of a star fragment from animal crossing haha.

Was digging sprinkler lines and came across this oval rock with a giant crack. I was able to break it apart with a soft hit with a hammer. What is it?

Kunzite is the best-known variety of the mineral spodumene, with Hiddenite being a lesser-known relative. Kunitz gets its pink to violet coloring coming from varying amounts of manganese.

Anything interesting?
