OMG. "Dirty white quartz primary plow fracture" does not need about 75% of its words. It is a rock that got run over with a plow and was kept because it's quartz. There's no "primary" about that; it's not even really cultural material. If I presented it to Tim in the field, he would probably say, "Ah, an Indian love stone!" (Archaeologist-to-normal: another fucking rock.) Whatever, it's here, you just don't need to describe it in such excruciating detail.
Also, it looks dirty because somebody didn't wash it well enough. "Dirty white" is not a variety of quartz.
IDIOT.
ETA: Also, bottle glass does not need to be both blue-tinted AND clear; we get that it WOULD be clear if not for its obvious BLUE TINT. Sigh. Is it time to go home yet?
