Found a couple of rhyolite points today. I have shown this before but here is two more. Our acidic soil works havoc on a lot of the rhyolite points. These are so deteriorated that all flaking scars are gone. some of the rhyolite holds up better than these not sure the reason why. The piece above penny is a coastal plain chert drill tip.

Johnny that acid from the sand can be worse then the beach imo . I have two examples that are just about sand again . Really glad you shared this I thought they might be Chert but they do look like these and have that volcanic poris look to them .

Johnny, I have so many rhyolite pieces that look very much like the ones you've shown. I'll have to google Gomer's Solution. I'm making a box of different lithics found in this area. I have a couple of nice raw rhyolite. I think there must have been varying grades. I have a couple of nice pieces, not artifacts, that a deep blue green and feel smooth like chert.South Carolina
