Green River Rocks

This beauty I found in Hot Springs County, Wyoming in a creek.


This third image is with the stone wet.  I did not tweak the color in any of these photos; I only sharpened the images to improve their clarity.

As can be seen, these rocks are considerably large and perfectly smooth and orb shaped -- I would love to see them as edging around a garden, a woodland path, etc...

Stones found in the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming




Sandstone ball-shaped concretions


 Non-sandstone ball-shaped stone

Banded Ironstone found by Owl Creek Mountains, Wyoming

Found in dry creek bed on west side of Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming

Found by creek east of the Bighorn Mountains - has some agate in it.

Orange lichen growing on this rock give it a flowery appearance

Love the feather-like crystaline pattern on the surface of this stone.
