QUOTE this topic has been here since Sep 2004 and now you decide to add your vast knowledge of geology to it. have you been waiting all this time to debunk me? I have not the time to read every thread on the board, I'd be suprised if anyone did. I came to this thread because someone PM'd me and provided a link to that fjeldspar piece and asked me if I thought it was right. I did not, and said so. I have no intention of debunking anyone, however, your conclusion in that case was incorrect. I assume the PM was from someone that had something containing fjeldspar in their tank, a lot of igneous rock, (rock formed from molten lava - generally looks like a mass of crystals), contains fjeldspar. QUOTE is everything else I said wrong? I don't know, I was busy, I only read a couple of posts. |

Hello everyone! I took a few rocks near a small waterfall... Most look like granite, am I correct? Can I use the red rock too? (right one on the picture) Thanks in advance for your help !   |

I've just read on another forum of someone who was boiling rocks and has ended up in
hospital with serious burns and many broken bones. the postee is a police officer called to the incident and was warning someone else about boiling rocks in their thread about them. in light of this I have changed my original post and it now reads Also you should pour boiling water over your rocks or wherever possible immerse them in boiling water to clean them and to kill any unwanted bacteria that may be living on it. Do not boil or roast in an oven and never use a microwave to heat up rocks. I really can't tell you guys strongly enough about the dangers rocks and heat have, so just please all use some common sense and hopefully there will be no similar accidents to any of the members here. |
