Flint River Chert
« on: September 12, 2014, 11:14:21 am »
I have quite a collection from where this material comes from.
It's pretty tough with the crystal and concrete pockets but
worth the effort. Acquired it at Flint Ridge Knapin.

Thanks guys,
I got the chert from Chris Stricklett Lobo.
He inspired me to make the MacCorkels.

Don, some good lookin Flint River points, I have made a few points from Flint River and really like the material if it's good stuff, I also have bought quite a bit of it from Chris. Like any rock it can be real good or real bad. Bob
