Rose quartz celt

[Emaner377]

Ohh..he called them all celts

[SurfaceHunter]

No what artifact types?

[Emaner377]

Seller thinks rose quartz. . White quartz then the smaller one chalcedony

[SurfaceHunter]

So what does the seller say they are?

[Emaner377]

Last pic all 3 together

Nice find brother! ^^ artifacinatin..thank you for
explaining the different types..always like to learn new materials. The third piece from this collection came in today will post a pic in a few..the seller thinks this one is actually chalcedony

Hey Eman...here's a piece I found in a cornfield I kick here in Connecticut.... closest thing I found that's rose-quartz ish

[redrocks]

Hey Eman. This one is milky quartz., as New Englanders. 50 percent of our finds are quartz by default ...I agree with Charlie .. just saying...I think Hoss would agree too

[SurfaceHunter]

Chalcedony is the one I was thinking of never can spell it correctly

[Artifascination]

Well basically the size of the crystalline structure and the amount of other mineral impurities in the material determine the name. All chert, chalcedony, agate, jasper, and flint are actually types of crystal. High silica in the material will give it a smooth “waxy” texture. The red color is almost always an iron impurity. Very awesome artifact regardless of what ya want to call it!

Thanks surface hunter
check out this one..same collection I thought it was white quartz? Now I'm wondering..it sort of has a smooth texture like the rose one

That sure looks like quartz to me....

[Emaner377]

Chalcedony I believe is the lithic you're referring too..could be? I bought all 3 cells from this collection..the third one is due in the mail tomorrow the one is definitely chalcedony

There is a white stone that I can’t spell that they liked to flake into tools and points. The name starts with a Ch . I find it also has a slick to greasy feel to it but looks almost like quartz. Maybe someone else can spell it for you. I don’t find it often but it’s a nice material.

Well even though it’s not quartz it’s a beautiful piece besides I’d be surprised to see a quartz Celt cause I’ve never seen one made from that material. Any place that supports quartz also has hard stone that they would of used for a Celt.
