Good Evening, Morning, or Afternoon to those beautiful souls reading this for answering my query to a question that has perplexed me for quite a time. In a current RP world I'm in our starting island is entirely covered with Granite only digging down near the mantle can one find Peridotite. Traveling by sea we have found literally every Igneous and Sedimentary rock there is: Bauxite, Conglomerate, Chalk, Chert, Claystone, Limestone, Sandstone, Shale, Andesite, Basalt, Peridotite. As well with the other special stones like Halite, Kimberlite, and Suevite. But not a single indication of Phyllite or Slate on the surface of the world. Am I missing a key detail about these two stones which contain the precious Marble which I seek?
Details: to be fair we haven't sailed to the world boundary but maybe a couple hundred to few thousand chunks (which I believe are 80x80 blocks) out from the spawn. Below are the furthest distances traveled in the cardinal directions:
- North: -542, 1 , -3127
- South: -190, 1, 5076
- West: -3510, 1, 1204
- East: 1553, 1, 3131
Further question: Will I have to go further out to find the stone because I'm starting to believe it doesn't exist on the surface.
