Shown above is a gold nugget from Crisson Gold Mine in Dahlonega, GA. Notice the fractal energy forms going from bottom to top. That is energy directional.

Quarry at Graves Mountain, Lincolnton, GA - While a volcanic process can make this, it is also a suspect impact energy strata. Large boulders impale the upward strata. Ash in foreground. And of course the iron. Iron does not occur as a mist in a volcanic eruption. A close up inspection of this site would tell a lot about  mechanism.

Dexter Craig of the Knoxville Gem and Mineral Society shock made agate from James H. Sloppy Floyd State Park near Summerville, Georgia. The matrix surface exposed in the vugs show a shock constellationing pattern of squares and circles. The black dots are late arriving micro impact sphere type particles separated in the shock chaos storm. Iron present is the atomized meteor in the shock wave.

I need to add this to my on-line encyclopedia of phenomena if you don't mind. Shock made mega clast with iron splatterform expansion constrained bubble from. Late arriving iron from the impacting bolide with very high heat making this two dimensional geometric form. You can see this with a bubble wand as the bubble surfaces will press against each other making geometric forms. Note the lower section as a less iron fractal inclusion which arrived before the higher iron splatterform.

My buddy picked this up at a rock yard in GA, it was mined locally. They used it to hold down a huge tarp, but let him buy it.

I was told this is called "iron boxwork formation".

Never seen anything like it...

Impact clast type 2 high heat slow cool. The blue is likely cobalt. A type 2 impactite is part surface part meteor mix. This is part of the bedrock strata highly shock modified metamorphic. When magnified the vug contains thin fractal quarts surface veins. These are fiber crystals a phenomena like volcanic Pele Hair. They arrive late in the impact event as shredded matter.

Graves Mountain Georgia found this rock at the october dig not sure what all is in it. it appears to have blue lazulite and a vug
that contained small quartz crystals and also crystal flowers of pyrophyllite
