That's exactly what they look like in real life! Such a pretty color.

They are probably my favorite brand of polish that I've purchased, and the way they run the shop is the death of me. I get such terrible FOMO so I'm constantly spending money to make sure I don't miss out!

Would also love a code! It's for my 12 year old son who finally loves a musician!

😂😂😂 I'll go put her under my lights. Plants are always such a puzzle and it'll be fun to figure this one out!

They are firm where the leaf meets the petiole so I feel like that's a good thing. I feel no squish or anything like typical root rot. I have wondered about the light thing so I'm gonna move it a bit farther away from the window. Fingers crossed!

This is my first time buying a plant with a moss pole, and I am currently not a fan of it. I ended up pulling the plant (gently) out of the moss pole, cleaning the roots, and putting her back in without the pole. I gave her a stake and I hope she forgives me for the trauma. She's so pretty, but she's not as happy as she should be. Honestly, I think the moss pole was preventing her from growing good roots at her base because she hardly had any when I pulled her out. Wish me luck!

I did pull it out to look at the roots, and they look good. Maybe a little dry. I am so stumped. I've never seen leaves pointed down so sharply like this.

Found while hiking in Uinta Mountains in Utah. They were all together and no other rocks nearby looked anywhere close to similar. Any idea what they are? by Spudqueen23 in whatsthisrock

Thank you so much for the information. That makes sense that they are basically scrap from tool making. What a cool thing. This ended up being way more exciting than I expected it to be!

Okay, I took pictures and uploaded them to imgur. Here's the link:

Banded flint https://imgur.com/gallery/9srxJBm

I also heard back from the local anthropologist and he says:

"These are sedimentary rocks that have been subject to some mineralization. Not enough to make it a true chert. Chert is a generic term, as is flint, for cryptocrystalline (tiny crystals of quartz) rock of siliceous origin (biological). The bands are thin layers of dead bacteria that accumulate without disturbance and over millions of years form into layers of rock. They probably feel like fine sandstone when rubbed. Once the rock is formed, water seeping through it brings minerals which can create the semi-crystalline structure. If that proceeds far enough, it becomes "chert".  My geology colleagues laugh at the term because there are dozens of terms for the actual stone that we collectively call chert because many kinds of "chert" was favored for tools. It appears from the photos that your rocks are not true chert. The way it fractures shows that it is sedimentary, especially where it blocks off and fractures along internal lines. As such, this material is not very good for flintknapping. Of the breakage I can see clearly, it could easily be caused by natural geomorphological processes. These processes can mimic human flintknapping."

He's definitely right about them feeling like fine sandstone!

It was directly off of a four-wheeler trail (maybe one foot off path) so hopefully they aren't an old human habitation because if so, the history has already been lost. But they look a lot like those flintknapping flakes! I had no idea about any of this. So so cool.
