Odd material.

<< < (2/2)

cowboy:
I bought a bunch of different colored glass chunks at a souvinear shop in MO one year - it was discarded slag from the Fenton glass Co. Gathered some at another place in TX "after hours" that sold glass for fancy dishes. Bet you've got something about the same - knaps easy :).

Half Shaft:
It's in Corning Ny.  "Glass capitol of the world".  Actually, corell plates explode like anything else.  Pyrex is the type of glass that is "impact resistant"  It breaks, but not very easy.

Half Shaft:
If not good enough I can try another camera.

Yeah, that looks like some kind of slag glass. Some of it makes excellent knapping material.
