Re: Rocks and Minerals Question Marathon
[hide]I think it looks like tourmaline...almost watermelon, except the pink/red part hasn't formed completely yet. Or maybe it already did but broke off somehow. BTW, is the first one that PacificGoldenPlover had mahogany obsidian? I saw the answer as just obsidian which kinda makes sense. I still can't tell the difference between that and jasper...[/hide]
Worst excuse for not turning in homework: "I couldn't find anyone to copy it from."
