Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana are the next states we'll be requesting images for.
We are now requesting images of material from the great states listed above for this thread. The images can be of rough, polished specimens, cabs, or tumbled stones. If you have any that you're willing to share, please post with a brief note on the region and its common name (if it has one.) Credit for the photo will be assigned to your name or online title (or not at all if that's your choice.)
Any material that fits under the heading agate/jasper is welcome to be posted here, even if it is from lesser known locations. Please post general locations along with the images.
There are many places that would be readily known to people outside the state. We'd love to see samples of these. If in doubt, POST!
