Another one into my found skulls-turned art collection
Only did one half of the skull so I can and probably will add more onto it another time, I think it’s cool tho. I love doing the spiral design
Nuff said, I love doing this spiral pattern and have done it on a few skulls in the past. Definitely can have more added as I only did one side of the skull
I may have to repost with better pictures, this phones quality has been declining rapidly. BUT I have a good feeling about this one, looks like wood grain going completely around. It’s pretty hefty. Anybody want to share their input?
Found on the beach of Wise Forebay in Auburn CA
Stamped 10k gold but I’m wondering what the stones are. Google says that because they fluoresce green, they are synthetic stones. True or no? Any help is appreciated!
I’ve found red and green glowing pet wood but never blue. It stays blue for a pretty good amount of time after too! Anyone know what causes this?
Also, I don’t have a great phone camera so it may be blurry or look like it’s not blue but I assure you it is indeed blue
Some look more promising than others and I’d love some outside input! Lmk if you need/want more angles/pics of a specific one
Only a few of the many I’ve found or brought home the past month or two. Maybe I have a problem
Material on the inside is hard but can be chipped away with my fingernail

Graded by PSA, the pikachu is 200$ as a 10 and the gengar is 300. And both around 20$ PSA 9.
What are they worth with a virtually unknown companies grade?
My friend thinks it’s very old coral and may have crystals inside. She thinks it would be cool to cut along the natural line in picture 3.
I’m wondering multiple things:
Is it even coral? And if so, is it old/fossilized?
Is there a chance of crystals or a pocket inside?
And is it too fragile or risky to cut?
It is about the size of my palm, hefty like a rock (not abnormally light for its size), and light shines through it pretty well through parts of it.
Any input or ideas?

Way to big to take home luckily I found a couple other smaller pieces in the area that I could.
This area was super cool, I also found some obsidian, arrowheads, and crystals in the same area!
I’m going to assume it’s a consolation prize for the money I’ve lost haha
Bucket list item that I feel like took me a bit long to come across as I feel that I have pretty keen eyes when it comes to finding cool stuff in nature.
Anyhow, the first pictures I can obviously tell is an arrowhead and was found within a foot or so of the ones in pictures 8-9. Are they also arrowheads or just flakes? And do they look to be crafted with genuine tools that native Americans would have used? I don’t know a whole bunch about arrowheads but I have heard that you can tell. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!
Lots and lots of obsidian in the area (as well as petrified wood and crystals)
Also.. is there any chance the piece in pictures 10-13 were a tool of some kind? Seems like the perfect handle to something that broke off but probably more likely just a coincidence.
This may be an odd question but I never see any posts or hear about anyone rockhounding or having found anything in Tracy whereas it has been the most bountiful area I’ve ever had the pleasure of searching.
I have found so many extraordinary rocks and fossils in the area just laying on the surface despite being one of the most barren and horrid places I’ve worked.
My absolute best finds happen in Tracy every single time Im down there for work. I’m talking beautiful and colorful pieces of petrified wood, quartz, calcite and other minerals. An assortment of red, green, brown, grey, black, white, orange, and clear rocks/crystals just littering the surface. I never have enough pocket space nor backpack space to house it all.
Just wondering if anyone else has searched or collected around there too? If so what’ve you found? To me it seems like an unknown goldmine.
I’ll post some pics of my finds in the comments if this post gains any traction. (Didn’t want to post pictures on main post because I want the focus to be on my question but a lot of my profiles posts were found in Tracy if you want a look)

Randomly stumbled upon it while hiking back up to the cabin after searching for things by the river. Very pretty light blue and a darker red but I can’t seem to get any helpful results googling around.
Anybody know what it might be?
