Need help identifying rocks, HALP! Anonymous
Anyone here know quite a bit about geology and rocks? My senile grandparents used to be rock collectors, but now a lot of the stuff they have is just sitting outside their backyard. Can anyone here identify any of the rocks here?

Jesus, you didn't handle those, did you? How close did you stand while taking the pictures and for how long?

Yup, those are rocks alright.
Glad to have been of service.

They weren't "collecting" rocks. They were just crazy people who picked up stuff off the ground and brought it home.

Serious answer time:
I'm not a geologist, so these are educated guesses, but not a promise on correct identification. You need to do some particular tests to positively identify them (see http://www.empr.gov.bc.ca/Mining/Geolsurv/Publications/InfoCirc/IC1987-05/rockclas.htm for one guide)
Looks like mostly limestone and granite.
Some possibles:
Agate chunks,>>233712the red this in particular, though they may be some form of feldspar
Marble,>>233712the pink in this could be pretty granite, but the veins make me think of marble
Slate,>>233709pretty sure the gray slab in the middle

The weird coloured ones like>>233709the red one up there you should try and ID. Even if its common, I bet if you oiled that one up it would be really nice looking.

If you have anything like this rock, let me know and I will kill a hooker in exchange for it.

All rocks that are commonly seen in landscaping gravel or found in a creek bed.

I am reminded of the IDENTIFYING WOOD book...

Well, I am a geologist, and I can tell you that there's no way to tell what they are without testing them. A pic is of no use -- I have to hold it, see how hard it is, look at the minerals with a handlens, get it wet to see the true colours of the minerals...etc etc, blah blah. Get a geologist to come and look at them for you.
