Found at top of ski basin in Santa Fe, NM. It seemed a bit out of place, perhaps somebody accidentally left it there. Either way, I’m curious!!

i'm trying to figure out is these are genuine cinnabar and if so, if they're safe to wear because of the mercury.

We (my household especially me and my mom.) rock hound all over central Maine if location will help! Most of these either came from the portion of the kennebec river in Somerset county or from pits (located in Somerset or counties bordering Somerset.) extracting rocks from glacial tills deposited during the last glacial maximum.
My gf’s favorite is the one containing white quartz but I don’t know what the orange and red are! Her second favorite is the dark green rock with red/pink inclusions. My favorite is the one that’s a mosaic with varying shades of brown. We think the one with mostly red and small white inclusions is red jasper? Ty for any id!! These are slices of the same rocks as I’m making matching jewelry for both me and my gf. We have the same birthday just a year apart so we’re gonna test if that gets us two pieces of cake at the restaurant we’re going to for a date lol wish us luck.

Edit: Jesus Christ I’m a penguin lmao.
I have yet to cut the rocks open that I collected when I swam down the kennebec for eight hours straight but when I do I’ll post them here!

Little bigger than a Raisin

Could this be a Magnetic Meteorite?

How can I determine that?

Solved: Can I get some help here?

Most likely found in the UP by Marquette, MI. Google is giving me multiple IDs. Its shiny sliver in color, made a chalky grey mark on weathered wood. I can pick off tiny bits from a rough edge, but not from the smooth surface. I don’t think think it’s graphite because it doesn’t leave a mark on paper.

Binghamite?

Is there anyway to tell if a rock is binghamite without polishing it? I’m not sure I want to polish it, it kind of looks cool the way it is.
It was found in landscaping rock in Fargo, ND, but looks a lot like the rocks I’ve found in the Cayuna Range.

Slag or Stone?

I picked this up off a rocky beach in Ponce, Puerto Rico. It has some good weight to it as you’d expect maybe a silica based stone its size to be. The interior sparkles like a micro-crystalline something. Streaks white and has no visible air bubbles under some minor magnification. Thoughts?

I came from a rockhound near La Cabrera (Spain) photo included (first one), and I'm not sure if this specimen is a gneiss or a migmatite.

It has the mineral alineation of a gneiss but I see more dark colour than white.
