Cool washed rock

This is the first rock I ever actually took home lol

hey everyone! im new to the rock stacking community, ive used some supports to hold it up, is this allowed? - quite proud of my first rock stack - feedback would be welcome, thanks x

Was an ashtray but now it holds my fossil sphere

I have a large piece of druzy quartz from SE Missouri and I can't seem to get this coating off of the crystals. I've tried brash brushes and Muriatic Acid(31%) and it barely touched it. Any help would be appreciated!

hi

Cubes!

I collected these throughout the Olympic Peninsula in Washington (USA) last summer and finally got around to rinsing them off so I can put them in a display once dry. Don’t worry, I didn’t collect them at Olympic National Park or other prohibited areas!

I have no idea what any of these rocks are and am not asking for ID. I just wanted to share them with people who will also appreciate how amazing it is to hold little examples of the passage of time and the power of nature/natural forces in your hands.

My favorites are included in the last 2 pictures. The biggest rock in the foreground of the last photo has a purplish hue that doesn’t come across well on camera.

Hopefully one day I can get a tumbler! I don’t have space for it in an apartment, so for now I will just enjoy the memories in a glass jar.

I don’t know how to make good pictures with my cheap camera. But I love them all :)

Found these at a thrift store. Fossilized coral in sunset colors! I never realized they could be anything but grey.

I hope this is the appropriate place to ask this, my daughter is wanting a rock tumbler for her birthday and I’d like to get her a quality product. Not something professional status because it’s her first one. But based on some research, Amazon and google are very divided on which is the best bang for your buck. I was hoping to maybe get some recommendations from people that might know more than me. TIA.

I have a big jar of so many different types. So here’s the ones I just found today to start

Not asking for id just sharing something fun I found.
