Utah Stones

<< < (2/3) > >>

mullet:
I was given some Obsidian when I was working in Pocatello, Idaho. It's not that far from Utah. And I got a lot of Ob's from Justin Snyder living in southern Utah.

Hillbilly:
I liked the Utah obsidian from Justin about the best of any I've ever knapped.

Silver John:
Obsidian can be found East of Hwy 257, east of the south end of Sevier Lake, south of Delta.  Start looking east of the row fence.  It will become more plentiful as you approach the hills.  Good luck

JackCrafty:
Broadcasting where to pick up free/good stone for knapping usually ends up causing the elimination of the stone within a short time.   ;)

I always recommend looking in landscape supply yards or rock shops first.  Then attend a knap-in or two.  I'm sure there are plenty of knappers in Utah.

JoJoDapyro:
I read up on a bunch of different links of where to find stone, and the issue I run into is it would be cheaper to pay $4 a pound than waste $100 in gas to go an hour and a half each way and possibly not find anything.
