I've been fascinated with rocks and minerals since I was a child and never really had anyone to share that same interest with. I don't do forums, but this venue seems welcoming and informative!
I live on the west coast, Monterey Bay area, and I am always finding interesting pieces. I am usually always wondering if I have found either petrified wood or meteorite
but I also find other eye-catching specimens but I never can figure out exactly what they are. I have quite a collection of rocks and minerals with little knowledge what they are. Hopefully here I will learn everything I need to know about my findings.
I attached an image of one I recently found on a walk in Big Sur, California. It was particularly eye-catching due to both the shape as well as the bronzy-yellow hue to some areas. I'd love to know what it is! Thanks and I look forward to gaining knowledge from everyone!
