I like Tiger Eye because when you shine them and put them in the light or sun they reflect like crystal with color in them. Tiger Eye is a type of quartz with fibers of asbestos and other minerals trapped inside. I have some Tiger Eye that is two different color of brown. It’s mostly dark brown but it has light brown strip between the dark brown. It has a clear coat around it, which makes the color look three-dimensional and when it’s shined, it brings out the brown. I also have a red and green Tiger Eye.
I like Geode rocks because when they are cut in half, there are all different kinds of colors in them. Also after cutting them in half, there is a hole in the middle with some kind of crystal in it. A geode is a stone with a cavity that is lined with crystals or silica. Geodes are formed from fluids that crystallize in cavities within the rounded rock or nodule.
Agate is a type of quartz with hidden or microscopic crystals. I have an Agate which has been slice from a large piece and is polished. It has light and dark bands of color which are brown and clear. The bands in the stone are formed in a circular pattern.
So those are three of my favorite rocks, but there are many types of rocks that I like.
