Wv farrier, Oh it's sharp, this material is found in eastern Penna . From the suqehanna river to the eastern border, It is a beautiful butterscotch color for the most part but has some rarer shades also, maybe Steve will see this and explain more about jasper, I am from nw penna and we don,t have any of this type material so I am not real familiar with the particulars,  Bob

Looks like some slick stuff there outback. I find small pieces in my fields that I think are jasper but I'm really not positive. I've never been able to make anything from them yet always to small and odd shaped but I have taken percussion flakes off some. The stuff I'm thinking of looks like candy it's so smooth.

Nice, Bob. I tried some of that the first time I met Zuma at a Knap-In down here in Florida. I'd like to get some more. And, I'm sure you could heat it at a lower Temperature, 350-400?
