content: MPT-1 (Mississippian Pitkin, Variety 1): Found from Newton County, AR. eastward beyond Batesville. This is a fine to medium textured chert which varies from coal black without visible lines to gray with darker black lines in weathered areas. Minute silica particles glisten in the light, in many samples (apparent at 10X). Opaline white streaks are rarely present. Workability good to excellent. A much used resource.
