Any Rock Guys?

Postby Hunkerdown II » Tue May 20, 2014 9:39 am

I bought a lot of items at an auction. In it was a rock bigger than a basketball. I think it is some form of quartz. Do any of you know anything about this and if it has any value? I have pics that I can text. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a geode, maybe.

If it's that, you can crack it open and it will have some cool quartz formations. You can but them and have them split it open for about $30.

I agree it sounds like a geode. I have some at home that are about the size of a baseball. One the size of a basketball would be $$$$. Link for a website on geodes: http://www.rocksandminerals4u.com/geodes.html

It may be, but I do not think it is a geode. Here is a pic.

Not a geode. I cannot see the picture clear enough on my phone to really say though. I'll have to look at it once I get home.

If someone ever decides to do a test study on adult ADHD, I suggest they come here first.

Thanks for the responses.

I suspect we have all often thought the same thing... :D
I am interested in purchasing duck calls that were made by Mike McLemore. I am a family member and they have a sentimental value.
