Sno flakes again...
YosemiteBen:
Over the last year there were at least two posts about snoflake obsidian. This is a point I did some time back. It is true sno flake with cristobalite crystals. Other obs referred to as sno flake has either ash pockets or pumice pockets and really can not be knapped at all. The cristobalite is a challenge to spall but can be sawn and worked ok. This one is from a slab.
Stringman:
Beautiful piece, Ben!
mullet:
Nice, Ben. I've only tried the crap, ashie, stuff.
Parnell:
That's really cool, Ben. Never seen that before.
flungonin:
Nice points.
