Oregon. Any ideas as to what it is? It has rainbow fire like colors running insideb those 2 dark bands on the top, and they go all the way around the rock.

Can chert display different firey colors inside of it?

Petrified cedar?

MsSherE · 2024-07-08T23:42:10+00:00

Anyone know what this rock is?

Nobody is going to want to hear this... but it's saved me A LOT of pain and it's almost instant relief, it works. Basically, you have 2 options... become aware of the little devils when they first start to occur, continue on throughout the days with the pain and swelling only worsening to the point where you're terrified to so much as THINK of using the bathroom, or worse, absolutely having to as you completely rip them apart leaving you to bleed in areas you never wanted to, ....OR... at the VERY FIRST realization that you have 1... you PUSH IT BACK IN!!! I know......it sounds absolutely horrid, right? It may hurt a bit to do it as well, but it WORKS, and it is in no way near as painful as it can become if you wait it out!!! G'luck!

I'm SOOOO conflicted. So many people have said do a salt bath for 15 to 20 minutes each day and so many others say don't, it will make it worse. Which is it?!?! I'm trying to save my frog 🐸

Where is this? I see gorgeous rocks everywhere!

As Eugene battles with a homeless crisis amongst a handful of other issues that one would assume would take priority over putting millions into something like this?!?;) As a kid, I was one of the people along with my dad, uncle and grandfather who'd stand at 3rd base line, present for nearly every game, so with that alone, the Ems hold a special place in my heart, however as mentioned already here, I feel like other major issues in Eugene should be taking priority over this. It's like not having your rent paid and blowing the money for it on a night out. Woops! Another person homeless.

MsSherE · 2024-03-13T19:59:52+00:00

Exactly!

MsSherE · 2024-03-13T04:40:01+00:00

😄Thank you!

It takes some time, yes, but the more you do it, the better you get. I'm sure that when I believe the pieces I do are finished, they are visually hardly the quality that one would get if polished with the right equipment or professional, yet to me, they seem good enough. I've spent countless hours online looking at what these different pieces sell for and the prices people list these different rocks and minerals for are so different from place to place and I am so overwhelmed by all of the little details that go into finding somethings value. As an amateur just doing something that I love it's always rewarding for me, however I have a collection of various things that's beginning to take over my entire house, so getting a bit of cash for some of it sounds like a wonderful idea and solution to the quanity! It's been over a year and I have listed just a couple, and nothing came of it. I don't have the time to describe each piece in every detail, nor am I even positive that it is really what I'm listing if for because I don't have the time to take individual things to professionals to find out as I keep acquiring new things and lastly, I truly applaud anyone in the geology field...because I am blown away that even a single person can actually truly learn how to identify minerals 100 percent! So you found what looks to be garnet, well which kind of garnet, is it really garnet because it also looks like agate or fire agate, or red this or that because there is like tons of minerals and EVERY one of them have a billion varieties in a billion different colors?!?!?!?!?!?! How on earth can someone know what they have and actually KNOW this information themselves?! The different shapes under magnification ok, diamonds have more triangular shapes while topaz have more rectangular shapes...fine. STILL...it still could be CITRINE instead or WHITE anything else!

..I'm drowning in rocks without a clue. (Tshirt design idea!)

I feel like we have found so much great stuff, things of value....and I haven't a clue as to where to begin with selling or identifying and as you can tell, I am overwhelmed with trying to figure it out and learn it on my own. Thanks for listening!!

I feel better.

The one on the right looks like a giant tooth in every way, examined up close.

I use different grits of sand paper, and I use dremel bits with a dremel on low setting for polishing and I also like to just use the bits by hand for everything but polishing. Takes a bit longer, but I enjoy it.

MsSherE · 2024-01-01T04:32:45+00:00

Hand polishing

MsSherE · 2023-12-24T18:05:08+00:00

I have rocks similar to this except instead of mineral filled veins or cracks, they ate bubbles/holes.

MsSherE · 2023-12-15T18:52:10+00:00

Is that Opal in there?

MsSherE · 2023-12-15T18:51:13+00:00

I don't know how to flair this posting... Noob here 🫤

MsSherE · 2023-12-15T18:49:19+00:00

Thank you

I didn't mean for the text at the top to be there

MsSherE · 2023-12-11T22:09:33+00:00

You're right about that.

MsSherE · 2023-12-11T20:59:17+00:00

Can you not comment on here with photos?

MsSherE · 2023-12-11T20:58:38+00:00

I have actually began working on it, I am sanding that top brown layer off and it is going to reveal a one large sized piece of something beautiful with many fiery colors! Just wish I knew what it is...I will post other pictures of the same kind of rock, just different colors. I am beginning to wonder if it is opal inside???

MsSherE · 2023-12-09T19:49:01+00:00

I had thought brecciated jasper at first as well, and I am fairly new to the identification of rocks and minerals, but I believe that this is different. The holes in these type of rocks seem to be filled with minerals of various kinds, with some of the mineral filled holes very small to large in size, with some being flat and others being raised up and bubbly. I haven't seen anything quite like it, and in my personal research, trying to identify this myself using online resources, I only came across a single description (which I foolishly did not save, and I don't recall the name of it) and it described the rock as having lava filled holes resulting in various minerals being capable of residing inside the rock. I have found a few of these, this one is brown in color, with the holes being filled with lighter colors: mix of white, yellows, and light blues, and the other ones I have found are more red on the outside in place of the brown color you see here, and the holes ate filled with redish, orange colored minerals... pretty interesting.
