I found these rocks about a kilometer south of Anniversary Narrows which is a few miles north of Lake Meade in southern Nevada. Rocks are partially translucent and have very glassy and smooth surfaces with sharp corners. I think it might be a form of Agate but I'm not sure. 10pts for best answer. Thanks!

  1. They look like chert, or flint


  2. They look like geode's!!!!

  3. Well what you have there is known as microcrystalline quartz. The specimens may be  petrified wood but this type of quartz is also known as chalcedony.
