Sort:  

I'll take a crack at this ;)

  1. Geode with calcite crystals. I was going to say quartz because it is the most common but is does not look right, plus that would be too easy (right).
  2. Fluorite
  3. Carborundum
  4. More Fluorite? Maybe Florine.
  5. Rhodochrosite. (Colorado)
  6. Sulfur.
  7. Rhodochrosite, again. (I know one of these must be right ;)
  8. Schist.
  9. Turquoise.
  10. Amber.
  11. Calcite?

I did the best I could with my limited knowledge, I know I didn't get them all (heck I guessed rhodochrosite twice) but I tried.

I love it!! So glad you partcipated!! The answers shall be revealed! 😁Lol

Oh and if you don't get it right the first time, you can try try again! 😁

Also I forgot to number one stone in first pic! It's a bonus one if you can name it right! Only have to have 11 correct!

Ya won btw!!! Woo hoo!

Hm.. I'm not so good at this. The only one I can say for sure is the turquoise. Though I'm pretty sure 6 is not pure sulfur but a crystalline mineral with some sulfur content, correct?

We shall see! Will have the answers soon.😊

I love stones and crystals but Im not good with the names! So I did a little research and came up with these...

  1. White Calcite
  2. Purple Apophyllite
  3. Rhodochrosite
  4. Pink Flourite
  5. Pink Opal
  6. Sulphur
  7. Rhodochrosite
  8. Black Tourmaline
  9. Amazonite
  10. Yellow Calcite
  11. Milky quartz

I know I got a couple the same but hey... LOL
Thanks for the opportunity!

Ohh you can have two rocks that look nothing alike...and they're the same thing!!. So you could be on to something 😉!! Hey!! Whoever has the most right answers wins! And it's all about fun! Good luck!!

LOL! Exactly!

That's right, isn't it! Not all sapphires are blue!

Correct!!

Nice contest! I LOVE rocks. But admit that I don't know their names. Bahaha, we have a huge collection and very few with names. 💜

I can say that I think the yellow is Citrine?

I hope someone aces this contest!

Well there's 2 yellow in the 11 total and I can promise you that neither amethyst NOR citrine are present in the group lol. (I'm hoping someone at least gets the neon yellow one named.) Those generally too easy. I do hope someone takes a shot at it though! 😊 And the Colorado ones all you have to do is a little googling

Hey @hickorymack! Take a chance at it! I was having low response so changed it to all rep scores can play!!😊

Well darn....my rep is too high. :( I'll resteem though!!!

Take a chance at it! I was having low response so changed it to all rep scores can play!!

Lol I couldn't play either if it weren't me posting it......if that makes sense lol. You can always try for fun! 😊

Ty for resteeming!

If only my sister-in-law was close by. I would have a good chance at this. Lol. But she isn’t so I will just check out your amazing rocks😉

Well ya gotta have a rep score lower then 49 to play. Sorry... You could always send her a copy of the pics and have email back to u.

Even if I had a rep lower than 49 I would feel guilty about doin that. I’ve got one of those guilty consciences that likes to hang around when you haven’t done something 100% honest.
I’m curious as to what the names are so I will be checking in 😉

Cool beans!! 😁

Paging @roswellrockman, you're clearly disqualified as an expert, but I thought you'd enjoy this post.

Having a hard time finding participants so might have to modify those rules. 😢

Hey @luanne
Nice contest, although very difficult if you ask me. I’m curious to find out if anyone will be able to name all 11.

Personally, I know only 2, so I’m not going to play, but I’ll be resteeming to help you to get the word out.

P.S: just a little tip: IMHO, you’re limiting the chances of the popularity of the contest by asking for an upvote ánd a resteem ánd a reputation score below 48. Just saying.... it’s totally up to you of course :0)

Yeah.... I'm probably going to have to let go of the rep # limit. I've only had one person go for it so far. And I know I picked some tough rocks. Winner with the most correct answers wins. I think I forgot to put that in the rules too, so I'll double check! Ty for the suggestions though! I mainly just want ppl to have fun....learn a little. Etc..

Hey feel free to play yourself!!Take a chance at it! I was having low response so changed it to all rep scores can play!! I made a few other modifications to the game too!!

You have a minor grammatical mistake in the following sentence:

So what better then to have a Rock Contest?.
It should be better than instead of better then.

I can totally see why you have a rep score of 16! I bet alotta ppl find you irritating! Lol. 😀
