Hi - another beach find.. chert with a yellow rind (in contrast to a white cortex)

Nice! I love beach tumbled stones. :D. Chert can have some amazing colors too. Here's a cab I made from flint from Flint Ridge, OH. :)

p.s. I was only in Maine once for a funeral and only 2 nights. Went to Lands End and managed to bring a couple rocks back. Only was there about 15 minutes though. I sure love the lakes!

Thank you!!! Although I can't take credit for finding them. I started lapidary classes awhile ago and have aquired quite a few rock slabs from all over. The funny thing is the majority of them I can't cut because they are so amazing how they are... lol. Some I have slabbed, cut, ground and polished. I really love my rocks though. :D

Yellow's a hard one for me :) - this is just about my only coral that at all qualifies, Lithostrotion vorticale, a Yorkshire coast glacial erratic (from the lower Carboniferous).

Hi Lissa. I like playing these colorful games. Here's an agate with a view through the window. I call it sunrise.

And here's a nice southern German Barite.

It's a beauty. Pretty sure this chert is ballast from ships, northern chalk region I've been told.

Maine has some great stuff for sure.

Pan them yourself?

Not these ones, they were a gift from a friend who spends a lot of time searching for gold. He gave them to Me because He knows how much I wanted to have some crystallized gold specimens.

Here are a few more that He gave Me...

Thanks for the fun thread, Lissa. Great specimens all. I'm kinda partial to Tony's yellow rocks.

I'll add a few belemnite pieces from Big Brook NJ and Green Mill Run, NC.

This is the only yellow fossil I have.

I think it is a Platyceras sp. ??? gastropod from the Devonian Mahantango formation. Deer Lake, PA.

Nice colorful gastropod mold, Tim! Does the yellow pigment come from an iron compound? Here are a couple more, both calcite from Idar-Oberstein. The first in a quartz geode "pipe" that just didn't want to end. That's the last one I've saved. All the others are gone. The second is the two halves from an amethyst geode.

Roger,

I would assume so, but am not certain - this was the only one I found like this.
