Novaculite, английский
A dense, even-textured, extremely finely grained, siliceous, sedimentary rock recrystallized from chert with microcrystalline quartz dominant over chalcedony (cryptocrystalline quartz). it is hard, white to grayish-black in color, translucent on thin edges, has a dull to waxy luster, and displays smooth conchoidal fracture when broken. novaculite occurs in the ouachita mountains of ar and ok and the marathon uplift of tx where it forms erosion resistant ridges. at the ouachita mountain type occurrence, novaculite formed by low-grade, thermal metamorphism of bedded chert. this rock serves widely as a whetstone or oilstone.
