This Rocks! Rockin' Rainbow!
Collected this morning from some Northern Virginia gravel on Whistler Meadow Farm!
Can anyone name all of them?
I know everything but the green one, I think.

Photo Azurite/malachite, and quartz I think, but it's blue...
I wasnt told what either were when recieving them, but i think the first is azurite and malachite. The quartz has a definite and consistent blue hue that doesn't come across in the pictures, so I'm unsure if it's even quartz. Do you get blue quartz?

Help Me ID Can someone help me ID this cab I cut
I think I got this from a rock club years ago. I polished it up & cabbed it. It polished beautifully. I'm still new to cabbing, but it polished like agate/chalcedony does. Anybody have any idea of what it could be? A free rock identifier app said "ocean jasper", "bumblebee jasper", or just "agate", which is why it's free. It is translucent. The yellow spotted part is almost like this skin just lying overtop of another translucent stone which almost resembles amber. It's a cool stone. The photos are of: 1. Cab face 2. Back of cab 3. Cab face against light 4. Back of cab against light Thank u

Help Me ID What is this?
Thinking its "black diamond" my dad dug it up in the Philippines. Very dense and shiny like graphite? Bigger than a mug. Apparently also magnetic.

Help Me ID Help identifying my rock
Found this rock almost 5 years ago, it’s super heavy and has a seem around it like a peanut almost. At one point I tried to crack it in half with a large hammer but I wasn’t even able to scratch it besides those two purplish/blue spots. I used a 3 pound hammer and pounded heavily on it, I finally gave up when the concrete underneath started to become noticeably damaged. Any ideas on what it could be, is it possible that it has a fossil inside, or is it just a cool rock that looks like a large peanut?
Help Me ID What is this rock?
Is this old? Should I open it in half? Seems to have a little quartz fragments in n the back

Help Me ID Found it on a fencepost.
Figured it would go well as part of a project im working on. Cant find any info on what type of rock it is, although im 98% sure its just tar or pitch from the asphalt or something like that. Its wet as I cleaned the dirt off of it. Any help is appreciated.

Help Me ID Christmas Gift
My son got a gift from my sister for Christmas that he asked me to identify. The best I can come up with is a titanium bonded quartz. It looks identical to these. Can someone tell me more about it? I assume it's unaturally colored, but what does the titanium bonded mean?

Help Me ID What rock is that?
I fount it in Barra do Sul in brazil. This stone is very light compared to its size, it also makes a rock noise when you hit it and has this line in the middle, I thought it was a shell or egg of some marine animal but it is not.
