Hey, I'm here to show off this gem~ an agate x petrified wood piece that I saw at a local shop and i had to snatch it as soon as I saw it.. there's a small window that shows what seems to be some sort of stem of a plant inside of it. I assume it to be extremely old and is a precious coincidence...

Hey guys, I’ve been trying to learn different rock types because I believe it’ll help me identify Native American artifacts out in the field. Is this a piece of chert? It looks like some examples I’ve seen online. It is really hard and I can’t scratch it with a steel nail.
