I like the looks of that rock. Just has an antique look. You did a fine job on knapping it also. Where does that rock come from?

I like it. Have one similar that is made from the bottom of a Seagram Seven bottle. I tried to save most of "Made in Canada" on the B side. Rick B

It would be cool to melt a Seven Up bottle and a Seagram's Seven bottle.
Then stir and anneal. You would have a 7and 7 point, green and amber.
Actually I had to intrude into the letters in order to remove glaze and hinges.
I didn't want to do that.

Sure you can knap tile. The thinness and glaze
can be a pain though.
