[Rockhounds] opalite vs. not

[Carol Carter-Wientjes]

Jerry, Think we may know of the same guy :-) Is right where this purple 
stuff came from. I do like it a lot! Hmm, guess I better go learn something 
about chert today since I don't know too much about it. It's flintknapping 
material, no?

Thanks for the hot tip, Carol
