Well the quartz in my area leaves a lot to be desired for quality but I put them in frames anyway. I posted a smaller frame in the past this is the bigger one. Not sure how many years it will take to fill it but I will keep trying 😃

Very nice. Did you make the frame?

No I’m not that talented. They are custom frames but I knew the guy who made them. He had 3 left and I bought 2. He has stopped making them at least he said he wasn’t going to make anymore at that time.
 

There is a oldie in the bottom left section. That’s how any Paleo I find always looks lol.
 

You're in Ga right? I do not see how you missed the quartz belt being located where you are. I think that frame is WAY too nice for those quartz pieces. Not throwing off on your quartz finds but I'd get a suitable sized, economical Riker to house those for now and use that beautiful frame for something as eye-catching as it is.

I can add red felt to it I think. I put the quartz in it cause of the black background. I agree 100% maybe one day I will put some of my best in it. It definitely wasn’t cheap, thanks
 

quartz is the worst,(not including those FINE points that southfork ninds), quartzite is not much better...BUT... a point is a point!

And for some reason most of the Dalton and Paleo found around here is made from quartz. And almost all I’ve found are broken. Quartz just doesn’t hold up very well in my area. It’s Vein quartz. Not much if any crystal points here.
 

when people post quartz I always think how many I’d walk right by, maybe the pics don’t show detail well on quartz but seems like each one would need close inspection to tell. I’ve got it easy on that front, if it’s not limestone or sandstone, there’s a good chance it’s a flake or tool.

Takes a while to spot them lots of debitage from quartz. Most of the ones I use are broken so anything whole is a plus

Most I see not use. Auto correct doesn’t help
