Hodey folks, I may have posted some of these before but since I'm unpacking anew, I figured I'd post a few for y'all to look at in case I haven't. Bring a former west coaster, my collection is very weak on southeastern stuff but here are a few I've been lucky enough to obtain from some of our members in trades. Thanks for looking ....Mel Alabama seam Agate. This actually, is probably a chert and really looks a bit like some of our central Texas Pedernales chert. Paga Mine ( Pagan?) Quartzite from Cartersville, GA I'm gonna tumble some of this as it's kinda plain for cabbing but still pretty interesting. Cumberland Mountains jasper/agate from Tennessee. It looks like this and the next one are again pretty close to the Mozarkite or Flint Ridge type flints and cherts. Snow Springs jasper/agate from Bartow, Co, GA

I like the cumberland mountain agate/jasper. Diddn't know Ga. had anything but chert, on the Savanah River. And, lazulite. Ken
