    Didn't pet rocks cost about the same a few years back?

    Very poor interest if these are dated back then.

    Are there varieties? One of them could use a quick dip.

    These are actually mineral crystals formed naturally by the earth. Can't remember the name of the mineral, but remembered owning one. Found it in my fourth grade rock collection in a sewing chest in the basement. Picture to follow.

    Maybe a geologist among us can identify this mineral............

    Just looked those up amwldcoin. Not going to be the same. I have some rose rocks from Oklahoma that matches the pic of the Barite desert rose. The mineral in the OP is not the same. Anyone else?

    Yeah I thought about it after I posted and you are correct! It's been almost 40 years since I messed around with rocks and minerals. image
