Unidentified North Carolina Rocks

[Rockrok]

I went rockhounding while I was on vacation. These were all found past Hayesville in the mountains. Im guessing the green stuff is Aventurine. There was a lot of Schist around (There was also a lot of the green stuff). One of the tan stones looks like it has a small Garnet imbedded in it (The imbedded stone is a nice deep red). The tan stones were found in a creek. Im really not sure on the black and white rock, it was found just down the hill from the green stuff.

The black crystals in the white rock look like Tourmaline to me. The black and white stone seemed to be a lot harder to find in the area than the green stuff.

A nice example of black tourmaline, notice the lines that go along the crystal.

Wiz, I am uncertain that it works on every link..

Most of the stuff you posted is nothing new to me.. So it might get interesting further on!

The crystals do look like Tourmaline, they have the texture of Tourmaline. I guess I found Tourmaline in the matrix?
