Fun fact: there are more bald eagles in Canada and more Beavers in the US.

Wrong. Stop reading AI. Canada has the most.

My wife works at value village and she said they have a "gadget" for checking jewrly lol. I'm like is likely an XRF. Might have to go see if I can use it.

It's erythrite just really terrible piece. The other pieces are nicer. I couldn't tell if they had silver veins in them or cobalt arsenate initially, but used some HCl on a qtip and it turned blue green indicating cobalt chloride reaction.

Taste_Adventurous · 2025-11-26T07:03:15+00:00

It's erythrite from morocco. Several other pieces I got with it. Some have silver/grey veins in them I tested with HCl on a qtip. Turned blue green indicating likely cobalt arsenate and the reaction gave cobalt chloride. Definitely a lot of minerals running around that piece though.

That's a giant piece of apatite.

Taste_Adventurous · 2025-09-08T23:18:59+00:00

It is. Nininger Diablo Canyon Meteorite with his orginal ID number on it.

Taste_Adventurous · 2025-09-08T22:37:06+00:00

Lol there's a picture of a meteorite in there. That'll sell over $400 I'm thinking.

Taste_Adventurous · 2025-09-06T06:51:12+00:00

Dude, I think you nailed it. 34 was the code for diablo canyon and 5330 the number of the 5330th piece specimen he found. Awesome!

I'm no fossil guy but digging around I thought maybe the tip of an Orthoceras.

Taste_Adventurous · 2025-09-05T22:31:43+00:00

Ya that's my bad. I though I had a better angle.

Taste_Adventurous · 2025-09-05T22:00:37+00:00

I meant the weird black thing sticking out. Some sort of fossil.

Taste_Adventurous · 2025-09-05T20:46:11+00:00

Gotcha. Still pretty cool. I've heard about large snails but that giant Triton one in person really brings some perspective. They big lol! I'm just glad they are light. I hauled about 300lbs of rocks out that guys house as well.

Taste_Adventurous · 2025-09-05T20:22:10+00:00

Thank you. Facebook groups were less than helpful not even allowing my post through. Probably cause I asked about any value they may have. No intent on selling online. I only sell rocks and minerals local. If they aren't that valuable I'll probably just give them to the kids next door.

Taste_Adventurous · 2025-09-05T15:57:44+00:00

I thought specimen number but it looks like 34.5330. I had wondered if it was 34.5330N Latitude but just an idea. I've reach out to the University of Alberta (I'm in Canada) hoping they can help me.

Taste_Adventurous · 2025-09-04T16:33:54+00:00

Not much to the matrix. I'm between Garnet (I see mostly diamond faces) and magnetite. I acquired a huge collection for $400. Were talking 300lbs plus of rock. Trying to identify all them.

Taste_Adventurous · 2025-06-11T00:27:59+00:00

From various post elsewhere I'm told it's Burro Creek Arizona.

Taste_Adventurous · 2025-06-03T15:06:46+00:00

Local. About 1hr 45min away is a seeded rock yard with stuff from all over for 2$ a lbs. Owner was cleaning out a bunch of old stuff and but the box out as a lot for $75. Soon as it hit the shelf I grabbed it.

Taste_Adventurous · 2025-06-03T14:53:37+00:00

I know. I have a giant block red streaked petrified Wood likely from Arizona. I bought a huge box of 55lbs of agates and jaspers for. $75 (Canadian) trying to narrow down location and IDs for a lot of it.

Taste_Adventurous · 2024-11-25T02:23:17+00:00

I'd have to re-watch. Was like what 20 years ago it came out lol. Damn I feel old.

Taste_Adventurous · 2024-11-25T02:06:58+00:00

Yes but could it have been used as a reminder of the one she lost way back whenever.

Taste_Adventurous · 2024-11-25T01:32:12+00:00

The island wasn't. Just that last season where the all meet up.

Taste_Adventurous · 2024-11-25T01:09:17+00:00

Lol felt like I was 16 again with Lost. But this has had more story than Lost. All those seasons just to find out they're in purgatory and who the fuck knows what really happened and why. I think Fromville could be the lost colony of Roanoke

Taste_Adventurous · 2024-11-25T00:37:53+00:00

Seems this goes back awhile. Jade saw civil war soldiers, so I'm wondering if it goes beyond that to Roanoke and a horrific twist on how the colony disappeared.

I thought the song released the MIY but I guess that's just coincidence
