    Yeah, I’m all in on that one, quartzite is beautiful, and I appreciate how hard that was to make...👍👍

      Thanks Jethro just learned today that most of the nicer quartzite I find here is not local as I thought but comes from Tennessee as well as my Chert, Jasper,and Chalcedony. I'm at a lithic crossroads.
