Rose quartz? Trying to give these as an xmas present and want to be able to tell them what it is. Thanks, -Cory Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chrisski 849 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 The Red ones do look like rose quarts to me, but could be staining from iron; the white ones normal quarts. At first I thought the Green was copper, but when I zoomed in, it was moss. The black stuff in the rocks not sure, but when I’ve crushed quarts, it always had a black magnetic hematite in the crushed sands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Furness 1,515 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Here are three rock shops that could help you with local NH rocks. Santerre's Stones and Stuff, Epping NH Dondero's Rock Shop North Conway NH Maine Mineral and Gem Museum, Bethel ME Very hard to tell exactly what you have from a picture alone ... so if you live in NH try one of these shops. Or perhaps do a search for 'Rock Shops' in your home state. Most are pretty friendly folks and willing to help new rock hounds with ID. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what the specimen with green moss is. The white specimen is quartz as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
