All found at Van's Beach on Lake Michigan, in Michigan.

I feel like 2 and 5 are a quartz. 7 has some subtle banding on the back, it's definitely not banded chert but I'm not sure what kind of agate if it even is an agate piece. 6 has me stumped, looks sort of like picture jasper but we don't have picture jasper here in Michigan. 1 has some black banding on the back (I didn't think to get a photo, I'll get one later.) And the rest I have no idea about.

Do you have more angles of 7? Possibly fossil/stromatolite

Not knowing Michigan stones well, and going off a relatively small picture, I’d say that 1, 4 and 6 look like brecciated jasper. 2 looks like quartz with iron or similar inclusions. 5 and 7 almost look like plume agates. 3 could be another jasper.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
