Georgetown is some premo stuff but not from sc ::). I'm not sure exactly where that is but found all kinds of quartz eroded out of the banks of a lake there (seems like it was grand lake?). Maybe someone can point you in the direction of some nice rhyolite.

Living in SC and having been to Georgetown SC (which is located just South of Myrtle Beach) about the only thing I've heard of around there is limestone mostly from nearby quarries, no flint/chert. Tried a piece or two of it and didn't like it for knapping. For rhyolite you need to head to the Uwharrie Mountain area of North Carolina or East of it. Rick B
