Texas rock run

<< < (2/3) > >>

Josh B:
I really have no idea where it originated.  It's landscaping rock that one of my customers in Houston lets me pick through.  Most of this batch is about the size of large bifaces with little to no cortex remaining.  Those I will cook whole.  The bigger stuff will get spawled out first.  The pink color is just the reflection off my red truck.  There are a few rootbeer colored cobbles in the pile.  But most of it is shades of tan and gray.  Josh

le0n:
is it rock the from landscaping at the business he works at, or does he supply landscaping material to the houston area?

just wondering because i work in houston.

iowabow:
Ok it has a color reflecting from the truck! There goes my it is "magical Texas Tower rock" you know the kind that allows for super super thin amazing points. :) :)

Tower:
Heat it up. It works great.  It's probably dredged from the Brazos, Colorado,or Trinity river.  That rock can have the most amazing colors when heated.   I usually spall & biface before I heat it up.   Great haul!!

I like that rock. Looks like my pile.
The rootbeer colored ones are my favorite and what I look for mostly.
goodluck with it.
