Let's show off the cool looking stones ya'll found while knapping. I was knapping some pitch black and suddenly these sparkly red vains popped through. Love seeing unique stuff

Oh and the red doesn't show through the other side. And it sparkles. None of my other red stuff sparkles!

This one came from an unusually pretty picture jasper slab that I got in a PITH trade.

Here is a pc of Flint Ridge that I thought was pretty cool, one of my favorite points. Bob

Here's a pretty obsidion point
-
That's a pretty awesome piece of obsidian!
-
Chippen I don't know. I got that piece at a PowWow in Courtland, Va

It sure looks like Horse Creek Chert to me. A lot of it is nearly impossible to work taw, but gets a lot better cooked. The dark maroon color of it is the easiest to knap, and the yellow/green/gray grainy stuff can make a guy talk ugly.
