A fun collection of rocks that look like food.

I’ve been gathering pics of rock and mineral specimens that look remarkably like edibles. Have fun with this parade of yummy-looking rocks that resemble meat, sweets, fruits and vegetables, and other fixings.

Rhodochrosite (magnesium carbonate) often looks like smoked meat as with this display that could pass for a butcher’s shop window. Source unknown.
