uacowboy:
Hi all,

I am in Tucson and looking to get a start in knapping. I figured with the gem show starting up soon i would ask if any of you are familiar with it and if it might be a good place to pick up some materials to start with.

Thanks,
KG

From what I know of that show it is more of a gem and mineral show. But still I think you can find some obsidian or agate.maybe some flint.   Better bet would be quartzite as

JEB:
I went two years ago.  There were 20 locations around Tucson so you have to look  at different venues to find rock.  One location had barrels of polychrome.

uacowboy:
Thanks. I will keep my eye out for sure and see if i come across anything.

My Buddy, Rick, will be there with some Georgia, Flint River "butterscotch" and coral.
