Hey yall!
Took a solo trip to Chouteau Island, located on the IL side of the Mississippi (across from st. louis). I know my identifications are most likely botched, so please don't be afraid to educate me!
Please follow my instagram where I post pics of rocks and fossils and all mine and Dan's favorite finds - @ilmorocks / ilmorocks

Found your channel through a recommendation from City Rockhounding and i subbed. What a beautiful area and a great gravel bar! All your rocks were wonderful and your identification is just fine for someone starting out. Its hard to tell with most of your rocks because the lighting isnt great, but it doesnt matter, as long as you like them, thats all that matters. But here are a few tips you can always use, the only difference between chalcedony, agate, jasper and chert is the transparency. They are all crypto-crystalline or micro-crystalline quartz. Agate and chalcedony are just transparent and chert and jasper are not. And technically an agate is chalcedony that has banding. That's all. And chert and jasper are pretty much the same mineral. Its just usually the color that separates them. And there are also quartz agates in some states, that dont have a lot of chalcedony. Since the difference between quartz and chalcedony is the size of the crystals. Quarts it you break it open will look sparkly inside because the crystals are larger than in chalcedony. But it is all a form of quartz. So all your pretty rocks, are all really pretty rocks and are probably all either agate, chalcedony, chert or jasper. unless its petrified wood! and you looked like you had a pretty good handle on pet woods! Great rocks. Good channel. And you are off to a good start!
