Nice calcite specimens for sure, you’re in a pretty good area for it, we had some nice blue celestite in some of the limestone quarries in Pennsylvania
Yeah. I once had someone tell me that it was just Knox Chert, but he acted like he wasn't interested in really confirming it or not. Lol. So I still lean towards chalcedony.
Sweet finds
Cool
Found some nice lookin rocks there! Yes, it is showing really blue! Bet it would look amazing polished.
Thank you.

I'd love to find some of that!
Meckley limestone quarry around Harrisburg used to have a dig every year before msha started cracking down on stuff like that in active quarries

Mites? That freaks me out. Literal mites or just little bugs? Is that a TN thing?
I always thought the little red bugs were mites.
You need to go back there at night with a uv
So far nothing is really lighting up. A few of the pieces today have a bit of fluorescence.
Looks like chalcedony to me

i do same kinda thing. super successful so far
Do they have value on the market? I have many of them
If you have really good quality specimens then maybe, but I would not even know where to look.
looks blue to me. once u polish it, it will really turn blue
Hope so
split those dark grey layer rocks they have fossils in them :)
That would be awesome
