Made this leaf blade at work a couple days ago. I love the translucent aspect of this material.

Nice, looks like Knife River Flint (root beer) from North Dakota.

Yes it can. It should have some small white or creamy color inclusions in it also.

Thanks Russell. Rick then that is probably what is was. Pretty tough stone, much harder than I thought it would be.
