I have it on my property, and it was used for brick making back In the mid 1800s.
The brick yard was in the field, and the clay pit was on the bush edge.
Always thought it was pretty common in most areas.

When people around here build ponds they can get a gov't subsidy if they have blue clay as a base. I think it's non-permeable. Back hoe operators hate it when they hit blue clay. Very sticky and hard to dig.

Not in New York. I'd check the local or regional prospecting club.

found a lot of blue-sticky clay in N GA gold fields. problematic, gold stuck to it and you had to mash, and wash the stuff to get the gold out. it was worth it

Any ideas where to get an assay
ICP - $35.00 Canadian, they need about 10 grams, the results returned via email so be sure to include it.

I just include cash with the sample.

Back when the California dredging ban went into effect, I met a couple prospectors in Arizona just had left S CA. One of them showed me a coffee cup with large gold flakes. width you probably can measure. The flakes were panned from blue clay. I've read treasure legends also, about diamonds panned from blue clay.
