Agate Index 8: New Mexico and Nevada is now out!
Over 40 pages of material (Thanks all!)
This project started in February and since then, with the help of many many people, we've been able to put together 8 databases for material across the country that collectively have been downloaded over 500 times. I'm putting out another request for photos in the ID section. Please read and post pictures of your local finds that you may not see in these databases. They surely are not complete, and we know that. But with your help, they can be more accurate. Where else can you be part of a project that is FREE to all and asks you to be the expert. Thank you again.
The American Agate/Jasper Index is designed to be a database of material found in North America. The main goal of this collection is to aid people with identification of specimens as well act as an visual guide to quartz gem materials. Each index will focus on a different region. These are designed to be downloaded for free and are created from photo submissions by rockhounds across North America. Updates will occur periodically as new material is submitted here and via email. (PLEASE submit new material!!!!)
