Anyone know what kind of rocks these are? I found them at a yard sale. They're very smooth and dull in color, nothing sparkly or bright...

@Degbeme
Some sort of quartz?

Some sort of dolomite? They look kinda like those

@Justafantasy Yes! Thank you!! They definitely look like the pale pink ones I saw in the search :)
@Tumbleweed glad to help, I know I've seen stuff like that before. Couldn't remember the name

I cannot tell. I am no expert.

But it looks like a few places have conchoidal fracture, common on quartz and glass:


Yet there are lines in it. I wonder if it is wood grain from petrified wood?

Tumbleweed · F
@JoyfulSilence they are identical to those! Thank you!! I found some rocks awhile back and finally found out that they're actually slag.

I see them all the time in the fields. I know its a sedimentary rock, I'm going to say Dolostone is my guess.
@icedsky will know. I'm not sure. They remind me of flourite but I don't think that's it. Maybe some type of jade

I was thinking petrified wood as a guess
Tumbleweed · F
@Livingwell hmmm, I never thought of that!! Could be but I have a piece of that and these feel a bit different...
Kiesel · 56-60, M
Wow.. those are beautiful!
Tumbleweed · F
@Kiesel Right?!
Tumbleweed · F
@PerfectionOfTheHeart oh, thank you!! I don't know much about rocks and these are just cool! At first I thought blood stone but I googled that & I don't think that's what they are...
PerfectionOfTheHeart · 46-50, F
@Tumbleweed My pleasure 🙂. My limited knowledge would’ve thought some kind of quartz.

Starcrossed · 41-45, F

Check with @Bexsy she's kind of rocky... eeer, a rock hound.
Tumbleweed · F
@Ontheroad I thought about her too!
@Tumbleweed they're pretty, i can't really tell though. I collect everything right down to river rock. I love them all. Sorta looks like quartz but yet, idk. I agree with everyone that says icedsky would know

I wrote to someone who can probably identify them for you.
