My rock is from the Canary Islands. It is full of holes. It is very hard (I don't think I could break it) and rough. It sparkles a bit because it has small crystals in it. I think it is an igneous rock because the holes look like gas bubbles which means the rock must have been liquid lava which cooled quickly.

1. Post a picture of at least one rock/stone that you found in your garden.

2. Describe it's texture (how it feels) and colour.

3. Decide if it is an IGNEOUS, METAMORPHIC or SEDIMENTARY rock. (Don't worry if you get this bit wrong)

My rock has at least 3 different colours in it. There is orange, black/ grey and white.

The black/ grey bit is sparkly and the white colour is shiny but the orange area is just like a normal rock.

My rock is small and nice. It is interesting to look at. It feels rough to touch.

I found this rock in my garden - there are loads of rocks in the fields around my house.

I think this is a sedimentary rock because of its layers.

my rock is hard but if u hit it, it hard enough breaks in half. The rock is rough and lumpy and has a lot of sides. This is a sandstone rock i think it is a sedimentary rock

My rock is smooth on 1 side and ruff on the other. The colour is beige and black. I found this in my garden. I think this would be a sedimentry rock.

My rock is hard and grey in colour. I found this rock outside my house. I think it is a sedimentary rock.

My rock is thick and hard,its not really smooth,more rough. It has white chips all around it, I personally think it is a sedimentary rock= limestone

My rock is smooth but has rough edges too. The colour is grey and cream. I think my rock is metamorphic.

The ROck Key could help you to identify the rock you've found.

Follow the link below and let me know how you get on

My rock is very smooth and was found on the beach. It would be something similar to Caitlin's rock, the sedimentary rock. This will eventually turn into sediments
