What is it? from the myFOSSIL app 2 years, 12 months ago 2 years, 12 months ago2 years, 12 months ago..what is it? 4-5” long. Found in our backyard .. calaveras county, Ca . This is how it all started. Do know the Miwok tribe lived here before us on our property obviously some time ago and also know our part of land was also part of the ocean even thou we are about a couple hours inland from the coast today.
Thanks #fossil
Quartz crystal
Mega big looks like
quite a massive quartz crystal. would make a fabulous decorative piece.
If it flakes off it is mica
Parece mica…
Thank you 🙂 It does not flake, and as I’ve been learning (I’m new to all of this) I should of described it more accordingly-
It’s heavy and and I would personally give it a 7-8 on hardness and it seems to have more luster when photographed but it’s my husbands favourite piece that he keeps next to his computer – I suppose the closest he may get to a “display piece” lol ! We found it when building a stone walkway in our backyard . Next to the newly found dinosaur sea serpents but that’s another story 🙂
Thank you for the replies – any tips on how to keep it or shine it up ?
