I posted the first photo in /whatisthisrock and after much discussion and other shared photos (included in this post) I was told to post here!

4th photo is what it looked like upon approach.

5th photo is a screenshot from a video, but a decent close up

These were found in the Buttermilk area outside Bishop for those who are familiar. Originally I thought they were someone's old fire coals, but I got closer and realized it was all rocks! Seemingly quite out of place where I found them. Nothing else like it around, so transported there for sure. But they were placed pretty superficially. I dug a few up, but even those weren't fully buried. I'm guessing pretty new, but I don't know!

And, please be kind. I'm just a hiker who stumbled upon this and didn't realize what I (might have) found until posting on Reddit.

It was very airy and light. The ground around me was made up of rocks very similar to this one, but the blue was really striking to me. It looks to have blue, a rust color, and white! So so cool.

Knowing nothing I assumed it was volcanic rock of some kind. It was found in the northern area of Death Valley National Park in the Saline Range.

I assumed obsidian, bc of the jet black color. It was glass like and sharp, too. But I don't really know anything. Didn't know obsidian could be clear if that's what it is!

Couple different views of Summit Lake up Mono Pass. (With some smoke from a prescribed fire in the sky of the second photo.) Roughly 9mi RT with ~2000' gain. This hike is easily in my top 5. Wow! It was stunning! And so much snow left up there. ~12k'

She's also pooped! Swipe for the mid-hike and post-hike naps. 🥹😴

The mountains and cliffs of the Eastern Sierra are some of the craziest and coolest I've ever seen. I was rewarded with this awesome view at the top of my hike the other day.

We hiked 10mi RT for this epic view. Then she napped like a boss for the rest of the day. 🤣👏

This was mine and my dog's longest hike since I hurt my knee in a skiing accident a couple months back; 13.5mi RT! Woo!

If you're on here, I saw you on Thur 05/07. I woo'd at you when you got to the bottom. :) Very cool! Thought maybe you'd like this photo!

I retrieved these from the Laurel Lakes OHV/hiking trail on Thur 05/07. Would love to return if they were left behind on accident!
