Hey everybody!!
This was my first time working with Dacite! And I've really loved it so far, this was just a small flake that broke off a bigger rock so I decided to see what I could come up with.. And this came out!
 

Nothing compared to the beauties I see around here , but I'm trying, and the more I practice.. The better I'll eventually get.

Thanks for stopping by everyone!

And thanks to Eddie (mullet) for gifting me rocks to work on 😊

That is some pretty rock and you shaped it well. Having an eye for symmetrical balance in a point is important and you did well. Get those flakes to run a little longer and you are there. Nice work!

Nice looking  Dacite point, and you are well on your way. Bob

Knotty:
Thanks for the positive feedback guys, critique is always appreciated, be it good or bad, totally makes me learn more.

I agree, I gotta get the flakes running longer, seems easier on glass than the actual rock.
Haven't tried Obsidian yet but apparently everyone keeps saying it's very similar to glass ,
I'm still afraid to work on that great rock , but we'll see!

Thanks again y'all!

That looks good and it's Dacite, by the way. ;)
