Several years ago I went to FL. I looked for a source of coral for knapping. I found some on Honeymoon Island near Clearwater. It looked identical to your pic #3. Could this be the same blue material? Gary

In my experience, Florida materials have a tendency to turn bluish when exposed to saltwater and/or clay. mx061509ColumbiaEye1.jpg.JPG
