What's This ?


Recommended Posts


I’m torn between pastelite, a type of jasper, or quartz.

Most pictures look like quarts but the way it fractures in one picture makes me think pastelite.

Where did you find it?  Looks like pastelite I found in central AZ.

In south cork Ireland . Is chert an option ? 

 

Most certainly could be chert.  Pastelite and Jade is a small part of a narrower category of chert.

It's chert with some weathering rind.
