We are now requesting images of material from the great states of Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Maine 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!

Albite Moonstone, Mineral Hill, Delaware County, PA Personal Note: This was one of the hardest groups to identify. There is a battle of sorts between local hounds on classification. Consequently, Mindat.org kept changing, which confused me to no end. I kept seeing it classified as Peristerite, and then disappearing. Finally, I had to go with the ruling by the local geologist, Roger Mitchell, giving it the general name, Albite Moonstone.
