The first is a rapakivi granite. I believe that it is one known in the trade as Baltic Brown. It's quarried in Finland and is around 1Ga. The second looks like a stone from Brazil known as Uba Tuba. I know nothing else about it except that I like the name. Thanks for the post. Jay,

That would all make sense. Thanks for the corrections! And yes, hopefully, we'll find some good stuff here. Heck, I already managed to find free internet for a little bit, which I wasn't expecting, so maybe I'll find more cool stuff than I think. My two main goals are to try to find some flowing lava, and visit the green sand beach. Maybe it won't happen, but we'll see. Ah. That would all make sense. Thanks for the corrections!

Don't sell yourself short - the Big Island has lots of great stuff to discover. (That said - you can't go wrong with flowing lava - if its accessible.) Good Luck!

I am an older geology student who is struggling with the math/chem/physics associated with the degree, but am determined to get through it. :) Looking forward to reading more of your posts!
