PT63 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) My dad got this from a friend and gave it to me. He has no clue where it came from other than it came somewhere around idaho. Me and him have been trying to identify it for days, and got nowhere. we need help. any hints on ID will help. Thanks!! (P.S. if you know anything about its worth, tell me please!)

Tidgy's Dad Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Looks like quartz with tourmaline in it to me. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Welcome to TFF! It is a piece of quartz (white) with some schorl (black tourmaline). It is a typical example of a common mineral. TfF does not allow appraisals. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Zenmaster6 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Tourmaline in either limestone or quartz. No fossil is that shiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
