What kind of rock?

(1/1)

nclonghunter:
My daughter went to Myrtle Beach and bought some small fish tank rocks for me to knapp. The lot had obsidian, quartz and stuff I don't know. Some of it was "suppose" to be Jasper. This green rock worked like butter and I have no idea what it is. Would like to have a truck bed full.

Outbackbob48:
Looks a little like Coastal plains, Bob

nclonghunter:
Thanks Bob, it is a pretty green color. Does anyone trade Coastal Plains rock?

nclonghunter:
I am being told from the rock dealer that it is green opal and most likely from Australia...still looks like Coastal Plains Chert to me.... 8)
