I'm a rockhound in addition to the airplane obsession. Not long ago I went to Girard, GA, about an hour from where I live and looked for 'Savannah River Agate' which is not agate at all but chert. Same family so to speak, but chert is the ugly cousin to agate. I found one piece that has a fossil snail embedded plus some druzy which is the glittery quartz crystals. The snail is called a Turatella, a sea snail and this one is around 5 million years old according to the research.

Those are cool crystals but I think the post is in the wrong section? This is "three words only."

The Argument Clinic is down the hall to the left.
