Hi tumblr this time I have a moth question!!! Who is this 🤔? I found it chilling on the shed around 6pm. This is in Polk County Wisconsin. Golf ball for size reference. I’m struggling to find visual resources to identify it. Thank you 😛

hi i was gonna add this in the tags but tumblr mobile is fucked badly right now. so anyways. the color of the green stripe suggests eclogite or greenschist! the host rock looks to be a granite or other igneous material(i can see what seems to be quartz(the reddish part is very hard to ID), possibly some very red ortjoclase feldspar, and a black min that could be hornblende or biotite mica! pattern suggests igneous). i would lean towards eclogite since greenschist is metamorphic, and i could see eclogite bubbling up and expanding into cracks left by some crumbly granite! xoxo have a good day

big juicy smooch for those of you who answered hheeehehehhehee thank you this is delightful :3

I wanna see everyday rocks people find cool… Unfortunately I do not care much for crystals and gems… I am lost on what hashtags n such to search for these things.

I am determined to find a little sea critter fossil. I spend most of my time swimming around looking at pebbles though. I’ll find one someday TRUST ‼️🙏

I’m very curious about the green stripe. Any ideas what it could be or how it formed? Nerd out on me. I would lovelovelove to learn something!!1!!!!!1!

Info:

Found this awesome-sauce rock at my local park from a path of rocks that was recently (?) added. I live around the Twin Cities area of Wisconsin. Considering they were placed there it’s probably not relevant where specifically I found it.

Gave my friend my phone to take pics, she conveniently took one of where I found it!!!
