AMERICAN AGATE/JASPER INDEX

Current Index of Volumes.

The American Agate/Jasper Index is designed to be a database of material found in North America. The main goal of this collection is to aid people with identification of specimens as well act as a visual guide to quartz gem materials. Each index will focus on a different region. These are designed to be downloaded for free and are created from photo submissions by rockhounds across North America. Updates will occur periodically as new material is submitted.

When you click on a link above, it should take you to a screen that shows the image of the specific Index's front. Above it is a blue box that says Download Now. DON'T click the green button that says DOWNLOAD 4SHARED DESKTOP or download; evidently it has some other function.. You click on the BLUE button that says "Download Now. No Virus Detected". This gets you to a screen that says "Thank you for downloading {Index Name}.pdf". There is short countdown (10 seconds) and then a link comes up that says "Click here to download this file". Click that and the file downloads.
