Thread: Stone ID

Arkansas?

Here is a pic of an outcrop of arkansas stone:

Kind of looks like Kudu Horn to me. Based on the surface lustre, I would say that it's a Novaculite. Based on it's colour I would say it's either a lower grade of Washita stone, one of the earliest references to these stones in the literature describes them as being red or flesh-coloured; or, it might be a sample of the Novaculite that was quarried in Littleton, New Hampshire. These stones occurred in a variety of colours and grades on the same sill, but the stones of this colour were regarded as being superior to the softer, blue-coloured stones.

Kindest regards,
Alex
