>>2788377when i was out looking for fossils, i found this rock in a river, later learned it was blue iron ore slagits super pretty, the camera doesn't do it justice, something about it's soft ceramic look is just so nice
>>2788422Maybe, he's moved on to other rocks.
>>2788427That's not iron slag. Iron slag is usually found in piles of iron slag. Looks like it's a flint of some kind. Nice piece.

Back in the 90's I rented an apartment off this old lady. It was a big house, she lived downstairs and there were three apartments upstairs. She used to like me and she invited me down for tea and pie now and again. She had a sunroom in the front with a greenhouse bench next to the window. I was walking through there one day and I noticed a rock sitting on the bench. It was a perfect specimen of petrified wood. It was about 3 inches thick, about 12 inches in diameter, and a perfect circle, with no chunks missing. She said she picked it up in the Petrified Forest National Park in the 1930's. Back when nobody really gave a shit. You'd probably do prison time for trying to take a piece out of there now. That thing was beautiful, and you'd never see one today outside of a natural history museum.
I find a lot of fossils in the river near where I live. Mostly coral but some other neat ones now and then.
