A few of my favorite rocks

Knitia fossil fish from Wyoming.  Want to know more about fossils, here is a good BBC where you can ask questions and talk to others with the same interests. 
This site is having trouble at the moment, I will post it after they work it out.

A very nice quartz crystal cluster, Miller Mt. Arkansas
Check out the places to dig section for more info on how to hunt , clean, and tools you will need to find specimens like this.

Dinosaur poop, "coprolite" and bone can be found in Utah. Here is a nice clump of dinosaur poop, and a vertebrate from Utah. You can also find Tempskya  Fern fossils, and  gastroliths, "dinosaur gizzard stones".

This is from Mexico, was dug up by a friend, in Vera Cruize. It was made by the Tarascan people between 200BC and 200AD.

These are a few specimens of #9, or Corundum.
This is usually the main topic on McRocks. They also have many people that can help on other subjects in the rock-hounding field.

Part of the Berlin Wall, now that's a rock!
This was taken by my late friend, Rex Lewis.

Here is one of my prized possessions, a calcite formation " stalactite" from a cave. I don't know the exact location that it was found since I bought it at a flee market, but I'm fairly sure it came from Missouri. You are no longer allowed to take these from caves, so if you have one you are very lucky too!

Lazulite, and quartz
Rapid Creek
Yukon Territory Canada

Wavelite
Avant, Arkansas
Lots of the rock shops in Hot Springs will have these for sale.

The old Mississippi River has a few treasures to give as well. This spear point, used as a drill, was found just above Cape Girardeau Missouri, laying on a gravel pit waiting for me to see it. I was told it is early archaic Dalton Greenbrier.

Analcine
Cape D'Or
Nova Scotia

Amethystine Quartz on Agate, Cape Blomidon, Nova Scotia

Garnet from Little Pine Garnet mine in North
Carolina.

Druzy Quartz, Castor River, in Bollinger County, Missouri. That little spot is a penny. These are much prettier in the sun, where the light reflects back from thousands of tiny crystal points.  Also found on Castor River are agates, some of the agates host the druzy quartz which tends to give the druzy it's many different colors. This agate was found on the St. Francais River, where you can also find druzy Quartz.
