Quartz-Pyrite-Galena on matrix
Something really common, but really beautiful. It's the most frequently mined ore (galena) in the Carpathians along with the iron, copper and aluminum ores. This specimen is probably from Romania or Slovakia (I haven't got a label, but it's price said that). Not my rarest, but one of the best specimen in my collection.

Rare, water soluable uranium ore. This time my specimen is incredibly small, so had to take a macro, probably the rarest mineral currently in my collection. It's from Recsk, Hungary

What's your favourite rock and why?
Also, what did the emrald say to the graphite? You rock! I've had a weird obsession with Obsidian since I saw that one guys on YouTube make spears and arrowheads out of Obsidian with... Obsidian. Honorary mention to Amber, it's not a rock but it's so effing cool.

Why did the tectonic plates break up?
It wasn’t their fault, there was just too much friction between them. I saw it. I had to share it, so here it is. Sue me. (edited)

Fossilized Wood
Fossilized wood that my grandfather gave me a few months ago. It's been sitting on my dresser since October so it's dusty af. My grandfather found it in either a creek bed or old river bed decades ago. I'll have to ask him again I can't remember which.
