Material Reference Thread

[eastTNJoe]

I think we need a thread for people to add images of identification of material. I will throw out a few that I think are accurate. If someone disagrees with my ID please correct me....I would rather be accurate than misguided. Please add your own from your collection that you know or that you wonder about and want others to weigh in. Please put the location the material was found. Thanks!

This is what I find in North Ga. I am sure there are more.
Shale, Quartz variants, Black Flint or some call it Skunk Flint, Jasper, Banned Flint, Milky White Quartz, Crystal Quartz, Quartzite types, Hematite, Root Beer Flint and many more I dont know the names of. Lots of types here. All of these personal finds.
