Hello Kim,

It's hard to say for sure, but they do look nice. The white and tan piece looks like an agate (although I have seen petrified wood with a similar pattern) and the black piece, I am not sure.

It's nice of your friends to bring you rocks!

Sorry, I was not able to be more specific.

Have a great day!

John

i thought maybe it was an agate but being from a "no rock" area and ordering most of my rocks except the gravel i have limited skills at this identification thing. when you order rocks you know the name when you pick it out ;D.

the black rock has a very waxy feel to it. it is partially wet/partially dry in the pic.

i don't know if any of these except the agate will tumble and polish but nothing ventured nothing gained so they will get tried. there is one that is really crumbly feeling that i may toss in the rockgarden instead. of course i have to bust most of them up and it won't quit raining here. but that's ok cause i don't have any free barrels and plenty of other things to run if i did.
