	Whitby Jet
		Jet is found in seams in the bituminous shales, between Robin Hood's Bay and Boulby, which extend under the sea and often pieces broken away by bad weather yield jet, which is washed up in various sized pieces as far afield as Bridlington and Saltburn.
		Jet from the shales to the east of Whitby is poor in quality, possibly due to the effect of alum deposits adjacent to the jet-bearing shales.
		For this reason, too, washed jet is not very valuable, since each piece has to be painstakingly examined by a craftsman who, scraping each piece minutely with his knife, separates the good from the poor.
