the one at :38- :39 is an agate.. the one right after it was obsiden, alot of it is sand thats turned into rock, (the grey stuff and/or white ones) and mudstone (the browns and red- it was clay at sometime a long long time ago..)

@lexusowner yup the translucent one is an agate. the one right after it is actually a type of native chert. i wish i could find obsidian in princeton.. but the closest we get here is smooth basalt

thanks for the info about the white stone. i found a source for it. it's a big white cliff.the stone breaks off in wide sheets but if you can get a solid enough piece it knapps fine.

mm i was thinking the bright red ones might have iron in em making the red color

thanks for watching and the comment

@beaniebrothers1

uhh was that a question?..

im assuming you meant "are those rocks flint or something?"

if so.. nope they aren't flint. i do use them for flintknapping,

the stone is chert jasper and.. some other grainy stone. thanks for the comment? and if it was a question i hope this answered it..

One of my favorite parts of flintknapping is getting out in the wilds and trying to find some!
