Title: A trio of trees
Post by: FlintWalker on March 20, 2010, 11:39:34 pm: Chipped these out yesterday and today. The big one is Ky blue and the other two are a very high grade translucent Sonora/Ky blue. I'm not really sure what it is. I've ran across it before, but it's pretty rare. It's a lot tougher than Sonora or Ky blue.

I just can't help myself. Every time I pick up a piece of flint, I say to myself, "I bet that'd make a nice pine tree" ;D
