My mother in law just came back from her trip to nova scotia, asked her to bring me back some rocks. Here's what she brought from a beach at the bay of fundy and a couple from the salmon river, and my guesses at what they are ( nothing special but I'm still happy to have them and she was wondering what they were, she brought back a bunch for herself too. )

Chalcedony ( wet and dry)

No clue but the band goes 360° around the stone (wet and dry... sparkles in the light, guessing high mica content) sandstone?

nice quartz bands ... sandstone and a granite I think

Granite with a really cool weathered pattern

Shists?

Side view:

Top:

Greenstone, top and side with nice bit of quartz:

Ignimbrite and a Conglomerate

Picture jasper? Was the only orange rock on the beach ( top and bottom)

Green jasper? Has that same Glassy feel. Had to get it wet to show details

Granite, ones a nice little pocket stone

Size comparison with a quarter

Hope you guys enjoy seeing them, I sure did enjoy getting them

I'm putting a tree on it and giving it back.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
