Nice rocks everyone - well afraid mine is not as ornamental as some of yours.

Just a little bit of rock Mount St Helens spat out in 1980 - but it has meaning to me. 

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

These pics are full size, posted on eBay a few years ago, old Minolta DImage point and shoot. This is a piece of opal, in natural light and backlit.        

This is opalized wood...pertified wood but opal and not the general agate rock sort. Sure, not with fire as in opal from Aussie land.

Tofi, are those flecks of color from the boji rocks? What is boji stone?

Tom...long ago I hade a good time fossicking for opal in Lightning Ridge. Best place to find them. I kept a few "raw" just for memmory we never find speciment like yours. I have some cut  and polished as well, most of them triplets, I have one big solid white thou. 

Boji stone? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boji_stone I did hear about it but didn't know much of it....I don't have one but as from now on it is on my list to get it.

Yay! Scotland *Rocks*!!!

LOL. :laugh:

I have quite a few of 'rock' shots from Scotland. Especially the 'standing' kind...Unfortunately, they aren't that great looking.

Anyway, some of these are so very  beautiful. This was a great idea, Kortalouche!

Wow, I did not expect this Simon to take off so well. I'm pleasantly suprised. Lots of neat stuff. Rocks have always been an interest of mine, I even took a course in Geology in college. Boji stones are also interesting, especially how they have the ability to alter bioelectric feild. Here is some carved marble. Thanks for playing guys and gals, you're turn Tunde.

This one is petrified wood, likely from Arizona, USA.

Nice Tom. I have a hunk of that stuff somewhere. :)
