Hi, Whilst the pictures
Fri, 08/17/2012 - 22:53Hi,
Whilst the pictures are not brilliant, I think I can identify the first two.
Number one is silcon carbide - a man made by product of hydroelectricity. Most comes from fRance or Norway. They make things like grinding wheel from it. It is very brittle, sharp and splintery. Keep it well away from pets and kids.
The second on I reckon is probably a slate. Originally it would have been mudstone which has been metamorphised.
The third could be almost anything. Could you do a clearer picture of it please?

Help with the identification of 3 rocks
Submitted by raillroad on Fri, 08/17/2012 - 03:04.Hi!
I went to my parents house and found some rocks I collected as a kid. Can someone help me identify which ones they are and what minerals they contain?
Thank you in advance! =)
