    billyd3us Thanks All my Friends

    Here are some rocks I got from my friend who is trying to help me out because my ebay got hacked or something, I can't sell on ebay till I pay my fees which are high and I didn't sell much in the past 5 months or so. If anyone can help me identify some of these and where or who I can sell them to, would be great . Also, how do I change my email on here because my billypicker email got hacked also or something, I don't get notifications anymore, only on my other email.
    Here is a rock or something, anybody know what it is ?

    Thanks

    The rock you highlighted looks to me like a plant fossil. The black one in the upper left could be obsidian. Is it glassy? If so, then it could be obsidian. The blue inclusions in the white rock could be lapis lazuli. I'm not sure of any of this, but perhaps others can give you some better ideas.

    The shiny black one with the white streaks looks like snowflake obsidian. The purple one may glow under black light . Picture number 4 looks like petosky stone. Michigan’s state stone. Check it out.

    Did your friend offer any notes or background on where they were found or mined?
    That purple stone looks like sugilite, and the largest piece, at least closest in the photo, looks like quartz and mica.

    I have a Petoskey stone that I picked up along the shore in Petoskey Michigan. While polished stones of unusual high quality were for sale in stores, every yard along the shoreline had piles of them. They are quite easy to find.

    i have watched some videos on youtube of a fellow collecting on the lake. he only keeps 1 in 10 maybe so his videos can be trying. he gets puddingstones and brain stones too? he sells them for quite a bit after he polishes them. i did not see him find a big block.
