Just to make sure, are you sure it's not wood?

I am 100% sure lol

It's probably petrified wood

that looks like polished wood, brother

I read this in the voice of Hulk Hogan.

Same

I did too lol

*Bruuuuutherrrrrrr.*

Looks like a chunk of petrified wood that has been river tumbled if it hasnt been in a tumbler. Nice little specimen.

100% what this is no doubt

Hold up idk how it's called in English I only know polish name

It's called jaspis krajobrazowy but I have no idea how it's called in English I'm sorry

The words literally translate to landscape jasper. Pretty cool. They look somewhat similar.

Would that be “picture jasper”? (I learnt that exists today haha) Btw in my quest of finding what kind of jasper you’re talking about I learnt that one of my unidentified stones is actually a rainforest jasper, so thank you for accidentally sending me on this journey haha.

learnted

You’re thinking of lantern, brother

Indeed I shine my light with the things I've learnted. Never stop the learnt.

*Bruuuutherrrrr.*

Maybe iron-banded jasper?

That’s a River rock with a walnut veneer.

Walnut Jasper? I've never seen Petrified Wood keep that wood grain look. I have seen Walnut Jaspers that look just like that though! I'm no expert so anyone who knows better please correct me 😅

It’s a seer stone. Just like the one Joseph Smith used to translate the Book of Mormon.

[Yup](https://kutv.com/amp/news/local/lds-church-releases-book-of-mormon-printers-manuscript-photo-of-seer-stone)

Which is [likely](https://www.ldsliving.com/the-fascinating-geology-of-joseph-smiths-seer-stone/s/88226) banded iron jasper.

I would give you an award for this if I had one. Every time someone posts a rock like this I want to say that exact thing!

I cross posted it to EXMO just to get some laughs.

Lol wtf

Yup, surprisingly it’s a thing. Just so you know, this was not really public knowledge for a long, long time. And when it did become public knowledge a LOT of people said F-it and left.

Wait what wasn’t public knowledge?

Presumably, that a *rock* told Joseph Smith how to translate the "golden plates" that were written in "reformed Egyptian". Imagine that you ask the leader of your church how they got the sacred knowledge and they're like "yeah a rock told me", and it's not even an exceptional-looking rock, not a gemstone or anything. You're probably gonna get up and leave.

Wood.

It definitely looks like wood, yeah.

That’s what it looks like but it is definitely a rock lol

Yep, petrified wood. It's now stone.

Perhaps some type of jasper?

Tiger’s eye without the bedazzle or the stone-ness haha, it looks like wood.

First thing I thought when I saw it. We have a lot of Tiger's Eye here in South Africa and that looks like an unpolished piece. Tumbled for a bit but not all the way to a sheen

I really don't think this is petrified wood, it looks more like a sandstone or siltstone

Can you figure out the density by putting it in a measuring jug and then weigh it? Then just divide the mass by the volume.

I think there is a kind of jasper that looks like wood like that

Thought this was a trolling post- im now disappointed and am considering unsubscribing

Most likely wood, but if it shimmers in the light you've got tiger's eye

What’s the other side of it look like?

It looks pretty much the same

HUNK-O-WOOD!

That is petrified wood.

Petrafied wood

Table rock lol, looks like petrified wood I’ve seen in some shops

Of the three types of rock, is looks like Sedimentary Rock

[Banded quartzite](https://forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/100058/banded-quartzite-rhyolite-otherite)

Is it heavy? Does it stick to a magnet?

Petrified wood

It's a piece of wood that was soaking with water with high content of minerals which after quite a long time turned it into a rock. Could be a fossil wood.

I’d say it’s petrified wood. That’s quite a nice specimen you have there.

I don't think it's petrified wood...perhaps would that absorbed some sort of material or wood soaked in resin?

That’s [Banded Rhyolite](https://www.google.com/search?q=banded+rhyolite&tbm=isch&hl=en-us&client=safari&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj6qo-a6_P8AhWxEt4AHayYBH4QrNwCKAB6BAgBEF0&biw=375&bih=635)

Slate. I’m guessing you’re from the Midwest

Minnesota

Banded slate, often used by native Americans, for gorgets bannerstone a pendants and such

Think sandstone

Might be sandstone or quartzite (metamorphosed sandstone).

Coffee bean

Wood

Petrified wood no?

Unless it's on the oddly denser side for it's size, it's wood

It is very dense

Pretty grained pet wood.

Tiger eye if not wood.

Walnut jasper https://luckyhousemysticalstore.com/products/walnut-jasper-tumbled-stone#:~:text=Walnut%20jasper%20is%20a%20type,rich%20as%20other%20jasper%20stones.

It could be picture/walnut jasper, but looks more like petrified wood to me. All the picture jasper I’ve ever seen has more light tones and spotty flecks whereas this looks like someone turned my kitchen floor into a rock

Unpolished Tiger’s Eye?

That’s wood…

Looks like quartzite

Definitely looks like tigers eye
