Rock and mineral macro video: Burnt stone with green sheen and another rock with crystals inside.

I have two rocks I want to share with you all to day. Another one of the volcanic rocks, with some kind of flaky material on them. It has a very dark burnt appearance to it, charcoal like appearance. It could be ore or a mixture of stones. One interesting thing is the green sheen to it, I thought it was moss till after scrubbing and soaking it would not go away.

The other stone I want to share is like the previous video where I had inward facing crystals. This one seems to be like a Geode. If you look inside you can see crystals inside those cavities. And there are black striations as well, so makes me think a few things are going on with this stone.

Pretty crystals, they are inside of that stone possibly a milky quartz or smokey quartz. You can find these at Diamond Hill mine in South Carolina. Its a great stone, I like it alot. I may break it open though, and see whats inside. It may have a plate going across the middle of it. Though I do not have a saw to cut it.

Many of my stones I want to break open, or tumble or just clean up better with chemicals or otherwise.
