Rhinobarnacle 6 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I found this rock in a riverbed while hiking in northern Italy. Weighs 2 pounds. Wonder if anyone can say something interesting about it for me since I don't know anything except that I love it. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My guess is it's some type of agate. You could send photos to a local university in that area that has a geology dept. Perhaps they might know the specifics. Looks like a nice find. Congrats.

d_day 361 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Not sure what it is. It’s going to fall somewhere on the agate/Jasper/chert spectrum I’m sure. gorgeous rock though. congrats on the find. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
