Found this in Coalinga, California. I haven’t been able to find anything to help identify it. Feels like glass but doesn’t look like it.

Found around or near Siskiyou County Far Northern California. The largest looks like fossilized crystals, the next largest seems like fossilized shells and even a fuzzy thing growing in it, the rock definitely has what looks like the shell of something and then there is a white brown rock. Im not a collector just want to know what these are and if people would be interested in them. thanks for any information.

Hi everyone, newbie here. I was walking through the woods along a creek in upstate New York and found this rock in the creek. I've never seen anything like it, so thought I'd show it here and see if anyone can figure out what it is. It's about 12" high. I'm thinking it may be a rock full of fossils, but I surely don't want to break it open because I don't know what I'm doing, and don't want to destroy it. I've also searched on the internet for a couple hours and didn't find anything that resembles this

New to the forum and wanted to start a thread on hagstones. But first I figured it'd be good to see if there already was one. Other than my posts, this is the only one that turned up when I searched on the term. So I am resurrecting it. About hagstones: they are rocks with naturally occurring holes in them. They are believed to have magical powers to the FIRST finder. Some believe those magical powers remain with the rock and are transferable, but evidence is murky. "Wear it around your neck on a string to ensure good health and to heal any minor ills. Nail one above the door of your barn to stop witches souring your herd's milk or taking your horses for a gallop in the night. Attach a hag stone to your bedpost to keep bad dreams away. "Jul 25, 2021 Another place said hagstones (sometimes hag stones) are difficult to find as they "choose" when to be found and by whom. Dunno about that. I've found at least forty in my driveway, and one recently on an out of town trip to Columbia, Illinois, in the parking area of a Hampton Inn. One yesterday in my driveway. I also discovered one I already had found actually has TWO holes all the way through it. That's gotta be super effective! Don't remember when I found it, but I bet the next few days were unusually blessed. This is yesterday's find. Also found a poor excuse of a fossil, and this hagstone appears to have a fossil of some small critter piece in it, though it's such a good hagstone that's where it would be housed. I was feeling so lucky yesterday, what with the hagstone find and discovery of a previous find having two holes, I almost cashed in my deferred compensation account and bought lottery tickets. But once my heart stopped pounding I thought better of it. Made me then think maybe this latest hagstone brought bad luck, which I, fortunately, did not fall victim to. I noticed one of the earlier posters was going in search of hagstones. One cannot do that successfully. If one's goal is specifically to find hagstones, they will not cooperate. They will only allow themselves to be found as part of another search, like a general search for interesting rocks. If you even think "Time for another hagstone find" you will not be successful.

I was rock hunting while cleaning up the garbage on the shore of Ohio river and I found this. It resembles a petrified tooth of some sort. Did I find a rock or is it indeed a tooth?

Hello. I found this rock on the shore of a beach in Narragansett, R.I. It was buried pretty good wedged between other rocks and can tell these are plants of some sort. I broke the rock in half and it’s inside and outside of the rock as well. Was wondering further information. Thank you. 72983672556__F86D833E-8517-47BA-8B91-3D058EEEE308.MOV 72983676876__E73E2472-B58F-4969-A5BE-885B7965DB96.MOV 72983685808__B60707A6-3F94-47ED-81DC-6A4B4DE5347A.MOV

Hi, we come across this pattern on a hike in Wales that didn’t seem to match the rest on the rock and were curious, does anyone have any suggestions?
