New Members lowkee_z Posted July 24 New Members Share Posted July 24 Is anyone able to inform me on these two stones? What kind of stones are they? Trianglular Stone has a cinder block type of sound to it, as well as being very lightweight. White Stone is very much like obsidian; breaks the same and feels the same. It'll also glow a yellowish color when a light is put to it. Found wandering around the Northern Nevada desert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Yeah, those marketing associates do all sorts of crazy coprolites. My favorite is "green" amethyst crystals, which started showing up a decade ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 This post belongs in "Rocks & Minerals", since neither of these are fossils. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
