This next one is something like a Labradorite, To look at it, it just looks black, until you turn it and it reveals itself. i LOVE the sheen of it!
speculite is like labordorite
And last, we were thrilled with this little green turquoise piece.

We did get a few more rocks but i have to work on those photos! hehe
oh how we LOVE learning and finding new rocks, it has really been a ton of fun. And our yard is beginning to show it & look like other rock members. LOL
we have been going to find more crystals pretty often, mostly just for something to do. It's something we both really enjoy with the hike and finding the beauties we do... heck it's even nice just getting outdoors when we don't find great specimens that day. i would LOVE to hear if you have something you LOVE to do too! there are just so many hobbies and things to occupy us, i get upset with the kids of today's generation, when they just sit and play video games. It's really been cool since the Wii has come out and given many of those couch potatoes, something to do!! lol We actually love the Just Dance one, for when we are stuck indoors!
anyways, i guess i am off to get some dinner in me! Steak & baked potatoes (guess i got potatoes on the brain tonight! hehe)
tomorrow is the swapmeet and i still have MANY more bargains, that we already have, to share! hehe big HUGS! Thanks so much for visiting! Have a WONDERFUL night and i will see you real soon! :)

Love your pretty pretty rocks,
And your fantastic bargain buys,
You have so many interests and crafts,
That entertain and make you wise,
Not for you is "old couch bumm"
And being glued to the dumb tv,
But being busy and learning things,
Is fun for you and me.

I agree, kick em out and turn of the tv haha! Gotta be cruel to be kind, sometimes.

Nice to visit ya again.
