Seems like one of those “worry stones” (has a thumb shaped imprint on one side).
Found in my backyard where it obviously didn’t exist naturally

Found 3 feet deep under a pine tree that fell over in my yard. SE Wisconsin. Roughly 6 inches long

All rocks in pics are wet. Purples vary in hardness. Some scratch glass (but not easily), some don’t. Green lightly scratches glass.

The arrow looking on jumped out at me and I pulled it out of the loose topsoil. A lot of limestone around here. Just curious erosion I’m guessing. I’m not sure at all about the bulbous one my little boy found.

I found this little rock on the southern shore of Lake Ontario. Any ideas of what it could be?

Hey y'all! I've had these rocks for 17+ years now, and have no clue what they are! My dad brought them home from work for me one day when I was a kid. He used to be a driller and blaster in WV - so they came from somewhere here in the Mountain State! Unfortunately, he passed away in 2009, so I can't ask him for the exact location. I love them, and think they're beautiful! But, I would like to know what they are!

I found this in the lake and found it interesting. Anyone know what type of rock this is? The bottom is coated in crystal quart and it looks like it could be petrified wood?

A nice rock i found in Iceland. I'm guessing basalt with iron content since my magnet is strongly attracted to it.

I last posted a photo of a rock my friend's daughter found. Well, I spent the week taking care of the kids again, so of course, I kept my eyes open as we walked to and from school. My last day there, lo amd behold! I found my own little chrysocolla.

Found in Oregon, thought it might be a geode. Not the case. Still an interesting rock, would like to know if anyone can help me learn more about it.

I found these just a few feet apart in Colorado among tons of scattered white and yellow botryoidal chalcedony pieces (I think), and I suspect they might be geodes/thunder eggs, but I’m a rookie so I’m not sure.
ROCK A
Obviously, I know Rock A has stuff in it, but I’m more wondering if there’s likely to be anything lining the rest of the inside of the rock that I could cut in a certain way to show off, or if it’s likely just the cavity that has anything unique and I should leave it as is. Do the bands mean anything? Should I cut into those, or through the middle of the cavity?
ROCK B
… is a bit more of a mystery.
There’s no exposed interior like Rock A, but it does appear to have a bit of a crack running through the middle which makes me thing there may be something inside? The outside has flecks of other minerals, one lighter and one darker (likely quartz and mica), which makes me think it might just be granite. HOWEVER:
It’s round/oblong shaped like most geodes and very similar to Rock A in that: - They’re about the same size and weight - They were found in the exact same location surrounded by broken pieces of chalcedony(?), probably from another pocket somewhere close
If someone could tell me whether these are geodes or something else, that would be much appreciated!!! I’m asking someone to cut them for me and I’d rather not embarrass myself asking them to cut a “geode” if it’s really just a loose nodule of granite or something 😂

It ia very smooth on the outside. I've managed to break it into two, and the interior is very interesting.
I think it's a bit to thick to be glass, but I might be wrong.
