[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 504202, member: 4386"] Even good quality, in-focus and well-lighted photos, with some macros, are inadequate for featureless material like this (answer "a brown rock"). I suggest for beginners that as well as taking time for good photography, they go to ' Series on identifying Minerals' and try and identify a few other properties. The only thing that I can see in the photos is that of its sub-conchoidal fracture, which would be consistent with chert of a different colour. It is hard enough when one is holding it in your hand :-) [/QUOTE]
