Dano:
Nice points Cowboy, here's a site that comes in handy.

Hillbilly:
See, that's why I make my points about an inch thick-better weight ;D
mullet:
Very nice points cowboy.If you still want some of that rock send me your address.I sure wouldn't mind some of that either.
D. Tiller:
Cowboy, Just read this post. Wow, I love that rock ya got there. Up here in the northwest all I have been able to get ahold of is obsidian. How does it work? Going by those points it must work well. Are you up for a trade?

Hey Pat, you were right - not that I doubted ya or anything, ha. I took a look at that site Dano sent (thanks Dano) and yep one ounce is 437.5 grs. Now I just hope the postal scale is reading right - that just sounds really light for that point, we'll see.
Eddie - yep I still want some of that rock, always looking for something new to work on - I'll send you a box of this stuff too. I believe the postal service has a box you can load down with whatever and it cost's about eight dollars no matter the weight, gonna check in on that tomorrow.
Hillbilly and D.Tiller, you guys are getting a box too if that postal thing is right. As far as workability this stuff is like night and day, just gotta open one up and see what you've got. A lot of it is tough and grainy but when heat treated works fairly smooth and will thin (that's those whiteish looking one's in the pic). If you get lucky and find a peice of root beer in there you can work it either way, but I always treat everything - like that shine. Treating temp I couldn't tell ya, all mine are cooked in the ground (but am in the market for a toaster oven) thanks Eddie.
We'll just make it an even trade if you guys would like - I'll knock a chunk out of every one so I know I'm not sending you junk, but if youre going to return me some agatized coral or obsidian don't send me your'e primo stuff - most of this stuff is just run of the mill, you can make it all work but I've been beating on it for several years. Hillbilly, don't sound like you got any good rocks - don't send me any quartz - I've tried it, got enough carpal tunnel already.... ha, ha.
You guys shoot me your'e addresses on a PM and I'll get it rolling next week - tootles.
