[QUOTE="Ded Driver, post: 451894, member: 12692"] A belated hello & welcome Liliane I cant answer your identification questions but I find your rocks interesting I get around a lot in WA & find all sorts of odd stuff I tend to have an eclectic interest in things other people find mundane or just pass by. for example, this photo is Soapstone aka Talc (where talcum powder comes from), I picked up on a recent drive to Three Springs where they mine it. Soapstone is Magnesium Silicate Hydrate. I find it interesting because its primarily comprised of 2 very light metals ..Magnesium & Silicon I usually give rocks I find to my grandson who is showing a keen interest in rocks & geology (he's 7).
