What is the color of the sedimentary rock?
black
Is emerald an igneous rock?
No, Emerald is a variety of the mineral beryl (Be3Al2(SiO3)6,) colored green by trace amounts of chromium and sometimes vanadium and not an igneous rock. However beryl crystals form in association with Granite intrusions (which are Igneous rocks) and are often associated with tin and tungsten ore bodies in what are called pegmatities. They are also to be found in mica schists which are metamorphic rocks and also uniquely, the emerald deposits in Colombia Colombia are in limestone, a sedimentary rock.

What is the best way to identify if a rock is sedimentary igneous or metamorphic?
sed- cobbles, porus, rub off n cums off, defenite layers met- distorted structure, not smooth, diff color lines, banding in some, sum r green ign- smooth, random intergrown crystals, pumice and scoria are vesicular
How do you determine if a rock is igneous sedimentary or metamorphic?
Speaking in very general terms, and with plenty of exceptions, igneous rock may possess larger visible crystals (granite), may be glassy (obsidian), may have air pockets or bubbles present (pumice), and may be dark green or black-ish (basalt). Sedimentary rock may display sediment layers (like shale), may contain fossils (fossiliferous limestone), and may be fine grained (chemical limestone). Metamorphic rock may display foliation (parallel layers of light and dark minerals)(like gneiss), may have a wavy appearance to the foliation, have platy cleavage, or sparkle from the mineral mica (mica schist).
What types of rocks are found in Seattle Washington?
There are many types of rocks that are found in Washington state. The most common ones found are sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks.
How do you tell if a rock is sedimentryigneousand medimorphic?
There is more than one way to answer your question, and if you are given a hand sample (like a chunk of rock) sometimes its hard to tell! Here are some hints that can lead you figure out if a rock is sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic If a rock is sedimentary: it will be composed of grains, or clasts, from other rocks. Sandstones, for example, will be made up of primarily sand grains. Siltstones, clay stones, or grainstones, will have smaller grains that you might not be able to see with the naked eye! Often sedimentary rocks are porous, which means they have little holes that can hold fluids, like water. can you rub the rock and feel grains coming off in your hand? you might have a sedimentary rock. Do you see fossils in the rock? Its most likely sedimentary. If a rock is igneous; you need to know what minerals may indicate igneous origin. if the rock is a plutonic igneous rock, it will have large grains, and you will probably see feldspars, biotite, pyroxene, and amphibole. Volcanic rocks will be finer grained, so you need to look for structures and textures that would indicate a volcanic origin. If the rock is massive, i.e, no orientation of grains, and no structures are present, you may have a volcanic igneous rock. If your rock is glassy, like obsidian, you may have a volcanic igneous rock. if your rock has holes in it, like pumice, you may have a volcanic igneous rock If the rock is metamorphic; again, you need to look for certain minerals and structures that could point you to this conclusion. If you see chlorite, a harder green mica, you probably have a metamorphic rock. If the rock looks like a sandstone but isn't porous, you have quartzite, a metamorphosed sand stone. If you see foliation (like paper thin layers, perhaps not linear), or deformation structures (like stretched or deformed crystals) there is a good chance you have a metamorphic rock. While some areas may have more of one type of rock than another area, try not to generalize the area until you know what may be causing these types of rocks.
What is a agate and how much is it worth?
Agate is a type of chalcedony composed of cryptocrystalline silica. Its value can vary widely depending on factors such as color, clarity, size, and any unique patterns or inclusions. Common agate can range from a few dollars to a hundred dollars per piece, while rarer and higher-quality agate can command prices in the hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
