Query...

When I posted my dragon egg I asked what qualified as interesting.  I am know to this whole thing. I am not sure what others on her may actually find to be interesting and what is common place. I don't want to bore anyone with my post or post a bunch of mundane rocks. Since I am new to it pretty much every 2 tone rock seems odd or special (slight exaggeration). Maybe we could open a new category. Title it "noob post" and the description something like "come be underwhelmed but everyday gravel".

Since this forum is all about pics even though it has nothing to do with the subject matter. Here's one of the spherical rocks I over looked when I took the pics of the whole lot.

That's a pretty rock! I like the mustard yellow brushstrokes. Smiley
Well there's no telling what people will think is interesting, but I can't imagine many that don't think naturally round rocks are pretty 'interesting'. For me, the more symmetrical the better. On this board we do 'try' and focus more on the geology of the specimen,ie; What is it? When, where, and how was it formed? What mineral(s) is it composed of? Once you paint the rock geologic discussion pretty much ends and you enter another category.
We're all 'noobs' at some point. Just a suggestion is you may want to start a thread for “Round Rocks”, (or some other title),  and continue your introduction collection down there in “What Did You Find” with your dragon egg thread?  You can keep adding to it as your collection grows, and we won't have to go far for any news about any egg developments. Cool

Ok tyvm. I do however have more then round rocks to share. One I have been thinking about posting. Is a heart shaped rock with a heart shaped... idk probably quartz vein on it.

Continuing to post on the one I posted already is and idea that suits me. A different title would be better then though.
