We recently had our basement dug out and have saved as many rocks as we could while hauling away nearly 90 cubic yards of stuff. I see that you were the gentleman who’s talk we missed at Dimond Library.

We have found that most of the red, green, brown rocks are chert, but we have a number of other rocks. Some rocks are cinnabar.

It appears that the chert was in yellow sand or mud, and many were rubbed smooth. But we have blue stones and some light yellow ones that seem like compressed sand.

We live [on Park Blvd].

I was hoping to have someone come by and help us with identification of the various rocks.

Yours,
Al & George Janske
