Hello, /an/. Can any of you tell me what's this, and if you can what kinds of minerals are all of these? I have more pics, but they're a bit fuzzy, will return when I take good ones. Thank you in advance.

That looks like a certain crystalline growth that comes from fossilized dung....

The golden part is pyrit and the rest is rock crystal. Or some other quartz.

Pyrite (aka fools gold) and quartz crystals

That rock IS worth something to a collector

>>273015is correct, it's quite common for pyrite to be fuzed to quarts like this, still quite beautiful

Speaking of quarts crystalline formations we have a geode in our house that's about 2 n half feet in diameter and probably weights 35 pounds that hasn't been cut yet. The thing's been in the house for 20 years and hasn't been cut yet cause well....don't know how I guess. From the outside it looks like an ordinary rock. I've always wondered what kinda crystals are inside of it. Does anon happen to know how one would go about cutting a stone of this size?

you need a water cooled masonary/stone saw

I'd call a stone/marble/granite countertop store and see if they'd do it for some compensation

a stone cutter could help.

find a local lapidary club in your area they will have a saw for it

How do you know it's a geode, if you've never opened it? It could just be a large, ordinary rock.

Are the white crystals hard? Then it's most likely quartz.

That lil spot of purple in the pyrite actually looks like a gypsum concentration, implying that the chemical composition inside is probably something else too, this might be worth a lot to collectors.
