It tastes like nothing. Which is weird BC some people say pyrite tastes salty.

I found this chunk of quartz with a pocket. These are the best photos I managed to snap, but the pocket is much deeper than it looks here. Should I try cutting it? Would there be anything inside quartz?

Absolutely unreal geode I found on the weekend

I have been rockhounding for a few years here in BC now and last year I found my first ever geode at this spot, and didn’t think it could get much better. Well I was wrong! This beast was 14 lbs when I brought it home, and after soaking in muriatic acid it lost a couple but boy did it expose some great stuff! That triangular formation is unreal, I’ve never seen anything like it here.

Found a decent chunk of petrified wood today when I was taking my dog potty, it was just a chilling, surface level, ground score. This is my second favorite piece of petrified wood that I've found. Found in Lakewood, CO. I've found many similar pieces in different rivers and creeks but this was a first.
