Turbo,
Believe it or not I got that rhyolite from a guy on ebay about a year and a half ago. It was a mixed box of green, gray and black, everthing from real nice stuff like that piece to really unfriendly type material. I don't remember the guy's name but the box shipped from Siler City. On the one hand I would love to find more of it, on the other hand I know it is kind of special stuff and hard to come by.
Keith

Ahh, yeah, I have all the grades you mentioned, the green is by far the best our state has to offer, it's our 'novaculite'…lol..

Here's a pic of the only bifurcate that I have made, need to make more of these. Bob

Bob, I found one in a field many years ago that looks just like the one you made. Nicely done!

Thanks Lyman, all the old ones that I have seen in collections looked like that to me also. Bob
