I just started getting some cool items to display in my house. I thought this piece would go nicely with the others.

I have this salt lamp in my room which I had placed a tealight under because the original light burnt out, I sit rocks I find around it in my window. I noticed there were orange salt crystals forming under my lamp which completely destroyed my candles battery. But the weird part is all my rocks are fine besides this piece of petrified wood. It cracked apart and has crystals growing all over it, the inside is solid black. Sorry if the pictures don’t show the crystals, it was hard to get them to show up on the camera but they’re all shiny and orange like the salt crystals so I’m assuming for some reason the salt started crystallizing on my petrified wood. Does any rock nerds know what reaction caused this? The petrified wood was the only rock affected. I just found this interesting and was wondering the cause.

This is probably my favorite piece in my collection right now and I had to share. Nature is so cool.

How cool are these?

Found on Oregon coast

Anyone know the type of rock?

Pattern recognition is a terrifying thing

I haven't really been posting much at all and im not entirely sure if this fits the subreddit but I wanted to share this rock I found on the beach, when I picked it up I immediately thought of a seal, although it's a bit squished lol

Best birthday gift for myself lol

It somehow reminds me of the ocean.

We assume we found it in the backyard. This kinda rock isn't common to our property. We are very impressed.

Hey everyone.

Polished one of these yesterday.

I was worried about attempting these as im still fairly new to the hobby, was reallt scared I would mess it up!

I skipped a few grits and didnt expect it to end up as nice as it did.

By far the best polish ive ever achieved.

Looking for any tips/critiques/wowcoolrockbro, this one was too good not to share!

I polished another 8 today, some larger and some smaller. This one is my favourite.

Excited rambling over,

Al.
