I found a few Cross Stones today. I was fascinated when I found one that was a good looking cross.
What does everyone thing of Cross Stones?
What does everyone think of the Staurolite crystal in general?
I didn’t find any Staurolites in great condition but I imagine if you found a clear one, the brownish crystal would look incredible.
I did not disturb it or touch/scratch it.
I found a concentrated cluster of these rocks, but these are all pictures of ONE, and am curious what this purple is caused by/what it will create/anything else fun and relevant. Location is NW Golden, CO and the outside is mostly burnt orange. Definitely quartz base. Just need to know about the purple :)
Both are in situ. Just turned the second rock to get different angles.
Found it on my morning walk around one potato field in Central Bohemian region of Czech Republic.
Hi! I’m new to rock tumbling! I have my very first batch in stage one as we speak. After 7 days, I checked rocks and they need probably another week in stage 1. What do you recommend for a good beginner tumble grit? Are we just ordering off amazon? Gimme the scoop.
Heavy in weight and has shiny particles in it.
