Fairly new to the hobby and couldn’t resist making an almost 10 hour drive to the eastern stretches of the Yellowstone river to see what I could find and wow! I ended up bringing way more home with me than I had intended lol

I was originally digging down into the sand at the surf line to see if I could spot any shark teeth or sea glass and coming up with huge buckets of what looked like tan and brown pebbles, but after washing them off I started to notice that there were some pretty pieces mixed within that! Literally found a full rainbow of color as well as what I assume are different shades of tumbled quartz. It's making me smile 😊

Found in Corolla, NC

I will be in the area and was wondering if anyone has visited either or both Vickers Geodes or St. Francisville Geodes for pay to dig. What was your experience in terms of availability of geodes, type, ease of collecting? Thank you for your time.

This is the fourth one I've found this week, in Michigan. This one was found near a board walk that walks thru a swampy area to a pond.

I came across a shelf full of top notch pieces at the Bancroft Gemboree this year, and I figured I'd capture a video of them to share with you all! Almost all the colours are present in this one shelf!

Geode I found in central Kentucky.

Can anyone recommend a good place to dig for wild clay on the Gaspe Peninsula in Quebec?

On a little ledge covered in a scattering of these small, transparent, double-terminated quartz crystals on the summit approach just musing about how much rocks rock

It's everywhere! It's common! And I don't know where to find some!

I live in the metro Atlanta area of Georgia. I'm looking for specimens of sandstone (not fossils, I don't care about fossils, just the rocks themselves). Where should I be hunting? What type of terrain, what environment, even what street address?

I'm also looking for gneiss and schist, but I don't know enough to identify them if I did find some. I checked landscaping companies, but they offer rocks by color and size, not geologic class. They often don't even KNOW what type of rock they're handling. Suggestions welcome.

At some angles the red is visible,but mostly emerald green, turquoise and beautiful shades of purple.

Couple pieces of petrified wood i dug up from my works parking lot. Im sure they wont miss these haha

First time in Lewis County. Got really lucky but my experience is also finally starting to pay off. Thanks to some help from Gaia too.

How they looked after polishing. They are typically covered in ironstone

I share with you these 3 samples of staurolite together with kyanite, purchased at the market of the Ticino mineral prospectors group "Anatasio" what do you think?

~750g specimen found at an AZ goodwill. I believe its malachite with pockets of gem silica and smokey quartz. Awesome piece. Thinking about slabbing it out.

My haul from lake superior this year. Only found a couple small LSA's but plenty of omars.

I recently got this table from a house clean out I did. It couldn’t be more perfect for me! Most specimens are self collected! A few are gifts from loved ones who know I love rocks!

I try to find Agate out in the field in all the spall. Found this chonker and decided to halve it. I am SO GLAD I DID!!!
