lissa318 Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Hi - another beach find.. chert with a yellow rind (in contrast to a white cortex)Nice! I love beach tumbled stones. . 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lissa318 Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Very nice ... your finds are great ! 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 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). 1 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Hi Lissa. I like playing these colorful games. Here's an agate with a view through the window. I call it sunrise.

Only was there about 15 minutes though. I sure love the lakes! 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.

ynot Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 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...

Pagurus Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 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. 1 Start the day with a smile and get it over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 This is the only yellow fossil I have. I think it is a Platyceras sp. ??? gastropod from the Devonian Mahantango formation.

Ludwigia Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 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. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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