Silicified or agatized dolomite locally called Alibates Flint. There is an Alibates Flint National Quarry musuem not too far from here.

Used by native peoples for over 13k year.

Collected this myself not too far from Lake Meredith in Moore County Texas from private property.
About 2kg

I like rocks and minerals that have a long history of human use other than as jewelry.
This material has been discovered at archaeological site over 1600km distant.

Got this today. It is Native Copper from Central Arizona USA. A friend who lives there sent it to me. He no longer remembers precisely where he harvested it. It weighs 95.74g.
