Thank you.

Cool

Nice calcite specimens for sure, you’re in a pretty good area for it, we had some nice blue celestite in some of the limestone quarries in Pennsylvania

Yeah. I once had someone tell me that it was just Knox Chert, but he acted like he wasn't interested in really confirming it or not. Lol. So I still lean towards chalcedony.

You need to go back there at night with a uv
