uacowboy:
Which location did you go to? I have been to the one at Kino Sports Complex several times and there is always a lot of interesting things to see. Haven't been yet this year but hope to go friday before my night shift and for sure will be going sometime next week.

Stoner:
The Kino complex is where we ran out of steam and headed back to Apache Jct. There was a vendor "Porcupines Unlimited" that had a pile of antlers for knapping tools and hides for quivers & such. That was the last booth we were in. I wanted some rainbow obsidian, possibly some chert. We may head back on Monday and pick up where we left off. John

uacowboy:
I made it to the kino location today. Lots of jasper and some obsidian to be had. Even came across some electric blue obsidian. Looked really nice but too expensive for me right now. I picked up a piece of polychrome jasper, mookite, and a few slabs if obsidian to try.

Stoner:
uacowboy, have you tried any of the local jasper or petrified wood? I have a bunch of it and not sure what to do with it. Cut in slabs, heat treat, etc? John

uacowboy:
Not yet. Still need to go out and find some. I think I saw somewhere that heat treatment can do the jasper some good. No Idea on the wood though
