Here's some stone I found today. I don't have any idea what it is. It spalls with difficulty but good stone is scarce around here. Any ID would be great.

Been hunting around Chocolatetown USA (Hershey Pa). Rocks are from south central Pa if that helps.

i was in HERSHEY once, about two years ago when we went to pocono for the race. i thought i had died and gone to valhalla
with the aroma of chocolate in the air like that.
makes my mouth water just thinking about it
now i gotta go get some M&M's

SailorDad, check the label. Hershey's has gone cheap. They changed the formula: Instead of using the Cocoa butter, they are using oil instead. You can definetly taste the difference. Not buying Hershey products without the butter! Some labels say, chockolatey flavor, and something else too. Check the ingredients.

Looks like silicious limestone or really low-grade chert. I've found a lot of rock similar to that in eastern TN. It'll knap with wooden billets, but is better for big percussion blades and such-hard to get small, sharp points from it.
