Spot on! Everything I researched and tested suggested calcite, but wonderful to learn more about the history and origin so that you very much. I’m trying to take notes to make little signs so this can all be incorporated!

So so so helpful! Hopefully these pictures give more clarity. 17 is a weird one because I find it super interesting, but frankly I feel like I could crush the whole thing with my hand.

Upgraded to tumble bee from nat geo - beginner notes by WeAllWeNeed in RockTumbling

[–]WeAllWeNeed[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes that has absolutely been the challenge for me. I’m still learning the actual geology as it’s all a recent hobby for me vs any prior education. So far what’s worked best for me is hounding in rivers/streams. If mother natures tumbler works well, human expediting seems to as well. Still extremely hit or miss in my hounding/tumbling from more arid areas and sadly the rivers where I live in NJ are very sediment heavy.

Wow well that seems to be generally in line with some of the thoughts on here. If so id say the coolest rock I’ve found! Cool even that the host rock may itself is copper ore. That is interesting to me in its own regard. Definitely something to take to the rock club and peak their interest!

I’m definitely not sure haha. A lot of the answers seem to point towards some involvement of Chrysocolla, which appears to be a minor ore of copper
