    I’m in upper NC and finding quartz with mica. Some quartz clear and some like solid clear, if that makes sense. Dug down about 6-7 feet to find in red clay. Cool finds.

      @@zenflow4life mostly just clear quarts rocks but I’m not really good at identifying. Mostly what I’m seeing would be good for someone who cuts rocks for jewelry. Wish I could share pictures. I’m in mid upper NC near VA. I have cut a few with the shovel and do look like small gems.

    So many rocks you could have split open. It would have taken 1-2 mins to explore for curiosity's sake. Maybe next time.🫤.
