Pekin?
Another pic of the asshole viper I found today ?. In this pic you can see his big stupid venom filled head better, and his rattle sticking up out back
Rough green snake. I think the blue spot behind his head is a scar. For whatever reason, they turn that color when damaged somehow and those spots never go back to bright green.
No wonder my hippy neighbor lady has that plant growing... lol
I don't think that's native down here, but you can buy it as a decorative plant. She has hers in a hanging basket on the back porch.
@Grateful Dude We’re working in Golden at The School of Mines, right by their boring facility and I nicked these of a pile of stuff they swept in our spoils.
What do you reckon they are?
Ah yes those are excellent examples of Pink Crystalium. Not very rare. Some say they hold mystic powers to heal.

Others say they can only be found by someone that is destined for greatness...
I know all this because I made it up.
That is sea salt from the himilayas

Put it on red meat
I thought this was you showing off some meat you were grilling.

I positioned them above my gas tank and I haven’t seen my gas gauge move yet.
Will these get me high
@Grateful Dude ?
They are pretty cool looking rocks. Very fleshy looking.
How about you get bit by a poisonous snake?
Only if you take them rectally.I positioned them above my gas tank and I haven’t seen my gas gauge move yet.

Let us know how the ride is!
That’s outside of my region of expertise, so I’m not super familiar with the bedrock lithologies there. But, it looks like some type of quartz or quartzite…but that’s a guess. Is it hard, or can you scratch it easily? That reddish iron staining is common it

What do you reckon they are?
quartz minerals and also calcite minerals. Out there I’d lean towards the quartz side, but again just guessing from the pics.
if you can share a generic location, I have some online GIS resources I can look and and make a more educated guess.
mail me a sample and I’ll lick it and see what it tastes like. And also to see if it gets me high.
(jokes aside, old school geologists do actually lick rocks to see what they are lol)
It’s pretty hard and it goes from clear to pink to dark red. It looks like crystal to me. It was in Golden but I suspect the school brings shit in from everywhere. If I see someone around I’m gonna ask them and try to get more free rocks off them ?.
First thing I did. It was rough but I’m energized.
