Raw Kaolin Hardin

<< < (2/3) > >>

Zuma:
Fantastic point. Can you tell us more about the material?
thanks Zuma

Trapper Rob:
Very nice.

bowmo:
Thanks guys!

Zuma...Kaolin comes from Southern Illinois. A lot of the artifacts the Cahokia culture made were made from Kaolin. It comes in a ton of different colors and grades and all will heat treat into glass, but I don't usually heat the real high grade stuff like this. It knaps great raw and Hardin's weren't made from heated stone anyway.

flungonin:
Looks like it will cut. Good job

Parnell:
 Great looking and that material is interesting.  Whereabouts can that be found in S IL?
