Found a few beautiful pieces in rocks dug up by the local water department.surface exposure is Gasconade dolomite so i assume these are actually late Cambrian. But im not sure how deep in the ground they came from. Either way. I love these rocks and thought I'd share them with you. A lot of the pictures are different angles of the same rock. But theres a few of a second rock. I think i found and cleaned 4 rocks. Just didnt get pictures of all of them. Hope you enjoy. Happy hunting.

Looks like Travertive on chert to me. The quartz crystals inside the chert are really pretty.
