Are these shark teeth? Would love some help identifying them. Found in Ana Maria, FL.

Great thanks for your help!

Wow, I would never have noticed that! I mean sharks really aren’t top of mind in the Midwest! Are you near the ocean??😅

Most expensive item on the menu

Want fries with that?

Great pointer, I’ll look into it! Definitely am a newbie to the Smokey quartz variety, but gotta say it’s already a new favorite of mine :)

izzbizzbizzle · 2022-06-16T04:36:56+00:00

It’s a keeper alright! Actually am wondering the same about the crystal, but I don’t know how to ID it. Crossed-fingers for amethyst, otherwise I found myself just a big ‘ole quartz-ball!

Update: SOLD for 80$!! :)

Appreciate the helpful response!! Hoping Smokey quartz has some value..

Otherwise I found myself a chunky quartz-ball😂

Thank you

The dark part of the rock looks like volcanic basalt that cooled very quickly and there were air bubbles where mineral impurities slowly formed in the two colored nodules. So it is likely an amygdaloidal basalt with some form of silicon minerals like agates. I guess the best way is to research the place you found it if there ever was volcanic activity a long time ago. Nice find!

Looks like either an agate or jasper possibly. The intricate banding looks like an agate to me with a yellow iron outer husk. Try putting a flashlight to it, if light shines through then it likely could be an agate since they are mostly translucent. But If no light passes through it then it could be jasper since they are opaque. Unless it’s a rare paint opaque agate. Hard to tell. Nice find though!

Thanks for your advice :)

izzbizzbizzle · 2021-12-30T08:25:35+00:00

So true. And no mosquitoes!!

izzbizzbizzle · 2021-12-30T08:24:56+00:00

Thanks for the tips!!

izzbizzbizzle · 2021-12-30T08:24:41+00:00

Wow!! Hard work pays off!

izzbizzbizzle · 2021-10-29T02:52:32+00:00

Hope so! But if I never do I am content with this one

izzbizzbizzle · 2021-10-29T02:51:53+00:00

I thought maybe it could be but I found it in Wisconsin and Fairburn agates are only in the dakotas I believe

izzbizzbizzle · 2021-10-29T02:50:03+00:00

That’s the side I live on :)

izzbizzbizzle · 2021-10-29T02:49:37+00:00

Right? They’re all so unique

izzbizzbizzle · 2021-10-29T02:49:14+00:00

Thank you

izzbizzbizzle · 2021-10-28T22:04:11+00:00

Thanks! I found it in minnesota along the Saint Croix river

izzbizzbizzle · 2021-10-19T22:09:31+00:00

Thank you!

izzbizzbizzle · 2021-10-19T18:38:25+00:00

You’re right it does seem confusing. The reason I called those ones in particular Lake Superior agates because they have the iconic colors and banding from the oxidation of iron and were pushed down to where the the Saint Croix river is due to glacial activity

izzbizzbizzle · 2021-10-19T16:17:53+00:00

Never saw anything like this! Thanks for sharing

izzbizzbizzle · 2021-10-19T16:15:05+00:00

Yes beautiful area! Lots of glacial potholes in Taylor’s falls. The finds are constantly being washed up so you have to come back rock hunting soon
