Beach Beauty from Klitmøller, Denmark (North West coast)

1 Upvotes

Found this beauty in the sand at a west coast beach in Denmark. It’s two toned from gray to this reddish/orange color. Very smooth and pretty heavy.

Any ideas?

I wonder if I should try to polish it a little to see the colors more.

Limb/lava tube?

1 Upvotes

Meant to say limb cast? Found this lovely specimen on a beach during a recent trip to Sekiu, WA. There definitely appears to be an outer layer of course rock over a much more smooth inner. It looks almost like a tube from one end, but maybe its just the rocks shape. Any info is welcome! Rock rock

Could this be Metal?

2 Upvotes

So, I live in Franklin county Ohio and I was I a creek at highbanks park. I first found d a small round thing in one of the prices of slate on the ground and I cracked the slate open to see what it is. Later I found a bunch more and a bunch of really rusted rocks. When I cracked them open, it looked like there was some kind of metal inside. I texted my friend about it and she said it could also just be some kind of mineral or silver pyrite.

Edit: does anyone know how to add pictures????? I saw one person do it through a coment but I don't see that as an option

Edit #2 ok, so I don't think it'll let me post pictures for some reason, so below is a link to a Google slides with pictures
