My kid and I found this simple chart. It says that white river rocks like the ones in the second pic are chert? Aren't they quartzite?

No crystals

No layers

No holes

Not glass

Cannot scrape sand off rock

Hard

Various colours; dull smooth surface

Edit: Reddit really compresses images a lot, huh? Here's where we found it. Thank you, kind redittor, for your sleuthing too!

Mystery Crystal from Flea Market

Hello, I bought this from a dealer at a flea market who had no idea what it was. The only test I have done is trying to scratch it with a copper penny (specifically a 1946 penny) and it did not scratch. Thank you so much for your help!

South Haven Rock Find

Hi all! New to rocking! Found this on the beach in South Haven, MI. It is “fossil soup” or sea lily imprints. Are these easy to come by? It's dope!
