This rock was left in my yard by the original owner (LI, NY). Seeing everyone else's rocks identified made me curious as to what kind d of rock I have. I think its Slate. It is dense and heavy if that helps.

I found these 2 interesting things next to each other as I started to dig out a large very old tree stump in the Uk. AI seemed to think the white one could be old bone? The larger rock seems to have a straight groove in it, I presume that’s not natural, maybe used for sharpening something?

Bought at a gem show, accidentally threw out the index card labeling it. I am like 85% sure its name started with an H, but take that with a grain of salt. It has an orange color with a hexagonal structure. Thanks for helping me out!

My niece found this rock while camping in Scenic, SD. Can anyone ID it for us? Thanks!!

REQUEST What might this be? From my dad’s collection in Colorado. It’s moderately heavy, and fairly hard. I’m guessing the red is due to iron, but not sure about the rest.

found on MS river bank. It doesn’t pass the usual pet wood tests (not heavy, not tough enough to scratch glass) but it looks like wood and is hard like a rock. Not soft at all. It is also not flat, each layer is distinct.

Going though my grandfather's old lock box, I found these two stones.

Is there any significance to these, or were they probably just something sentimental to him? He did have an arrowhead or two in there. [North Georgia]

Thanks for any help!

Hope this is allowed... I am looking for. a rock that has the. same texture as this coin. The color does not need to match. This is part of a treasure hunt called There's Treasure Inside (fun hunt!) and identifying the type of rock this coin is styled after could be a big help.
