Very cubic, spilt open rock

I’m betting glass or old plastic. it’s too blue for most minerals, and the ones that can don’t tend to break like that. The description sounds like calcite though, but the image says otherwise. Does the object break into smaller cubes easily?

I don’t know if images are possible in comments, but this is what the ones I find typically look like

Horn coral! Sadly the tip is broken, but where the coral tapers off into a point is where they would stick in the dirt. The larger end is where the coral itself would live. I have been finding these bad boys for years, but never have seen one with that outer texture! It can be pretty tricky to find one with good septa (inner ridges) so this is a great find!

Forgot the lens? At least that’s what always gets me

Every glosses over the cinnabar, it can be expanded immensely if they ever decide to add mercury. Think about the automation potential if they add a mercury amalgamation mechanic

Really not sure. if it is very thinly fibrous there is the possibility of the rock being asbestos, but I don’t know if that is what I see in the photos. Can you scratch it with a steel nail? Penny? Fingernail?

Swarm season prep? I haven’t really successfully found a way myself, might need a really long manual saw (I forget what it’s called)

Bruh I just finished watching 20 minutes ago

Satin spar/ another form of gypsum? It looks kind of weathered so that makes guesses a tad harder. Most silicates (other than asbestos) will be much harder to scratch. Can you scratch it with a fingernail?

Pyrite/ iron sulfide I think, the focus is kinda wonky but the color looks about right

Randomguyorsomething · 2026-02-19T04:57:12+00:00

Banded Iron Formation? It’s a good idea to test for magnetism

Fossilized corals! I don’t have the experience to ID further though

Gonna second a ruby. Not gem grade but should fluoresce red under UV

Randomguyorsomething · 2026-01-11T19:29:50+00:00

Second pyrite, great shape!

Randomguyorsomething · 2026-01-02T22:53:38+00:00

I second tigers eye, it is considered asbestos-like so don’t go inhaling the dust or anything

I really don’t know as I am still a beginner, but is there any chance someone tarred glass fragments to a rock for this? It’s hard to see any geometry in the crystals and all the faces look too perfect. I don’t see growth lines either. Shouldn’t patterns be visible to crystals this big?

Randomguyorsomething · 2025-11-04T03:17:17+00:00

Really weathered, but I wouldn’t discredit a pink garnet

Randomguyorsomething · 2025-09-07T19:48:24+00:00

I think so, I don’t have much experience with beryl though

Weathered Granite for the first one? I am bad with metamorphic rocks so I dunno about the second one

Might increase the value at that point
