Recommend me some rocks.

Daycare Nation · 08.03.2006, 07:22 PM

I'm so effing tired of sand I can't stand it. White sand, brown sand, it's all the same. I understand there is more variety with rocks, and more substance and structure. I already picked up some granite this summer...I actually dug it. Willing to sample more, but I need ideas.

Remember when you were calling threads boring?

Daycare Nation · 08.03.2006, 07:52 PM

No, i like threads...You can weave them into garments.

schizophrenicroom · 08.03.2006, 08:20 PM

oh man, SEDIMENTARY rocks. i love them.

Daycare Nation · 08.03.2006, 08:21 PM

Must check those out. Describe.

schizophrenicroom · 08.03.2006, 08:26 PM

they're formed over millions of years by layers and layers of natural gas, rock, etc, that press down on eachother and all of the pressure makes it compact into a pretty rock.

Daycare Nation · 08.03.2006, 08:27 PM

sweet!

schizophrenicroom · 08.03.2006, 08:29 PM

indeed

acousticrock87 · 08.03.2006, 08:37 PM

Obsidian

k-krack · 08.03.2006, 08:38 PM

i've always found pumice very neat. check it out! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumice

Toilet & Bowels · 08.03.2006, 08:51 PM

the band Pumice are very good too.

atari 2600 · 08.03.2006, 10:19 PM

moon rocks maybe?

kingcoffee · 08.03.2006, 10:26 PM

Get some shale. Or some omanyte. Very beautiful stone. Lapas is always pretty.

against_the_grain · 08.03.2006, 10:32 PM

Some flint...crystal...and something else....arrowheads I've found recently here in central Colorado....I just took these photos for this thread...

I love rocks, they are my friends...and I wish I had all my arrowheads with me, I have some incredible specimens...cool rocks !! 2 different shots of the same arrowheads....

atari 2600 · 08.03.2006, 11:10 PM

Did anyone mention hematite yet?

That's the only one that even interests me really, but it's not a gemstone, it's iron oxide. ...like those shiny silver & white gold metals too.

As for rocks, I like turquoise a little...native american silver jewelry & so forth. On the precious side, sapphires (next to silver or white gold) are nice. I don't care for the bling like diamonds at all...too fucking tacky.

I suspect you're already familiar with the following...

Cantankerous · 08.04.2006, 04:31 AM

try an igneous rock.

alyasa · 08.04.2006, 06:46 AM

You rock!

Hip Priest · 08.04.2006, 07:28 AM

I have quite a nice collection of geological specimens, all ordered and catalogued, both found and purchased, which I would be more than happy to put online if it wasn't for the fact that you'd would probably be bored in no time.

Hunting for trilobite fossils is a favourite thing and any kind of sedimentary rock is fascinating, quite fascinating.

My 'O' Level geology tutor was a top man, and the the one thing that made school a little interesting.
