Could anyone point me in the right direction to find out about these rocks? Would love to identify them.
Found around mt magnet, found heaps, range frome grey blue colour to brown. Down from an ironstone hill i never got to, sitting on a wash. Very hard can't crack them they feel smooth. Lots of different shapes but I'm interested in how they are made. .. anyone i can send some to?? Would love to hear more.

Kind regards
Elise
 
Botryoidal limonite maybe, not sure. Goldierocks is the mineral expert on here, hopefully he has a look and can give an opinion. :Y:
