I'll trade you a rock for it and tell you how it works! In a few months when I know I won't just make gravel.  ;)
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short. Amen.

That's some purty rock!
When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.

I've got some of that sittin in a back corner somewhere. I tired to work it raw and couldn't get anywhere with it. Maybe I'll try beating it now.  ::)

Here in the land of knapping mortals it's some hard stuff and i cook it like agate, get the roaster up to the high setting and let it soak for a full day in the heat then ramp it back down, it makes pretty points though
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

Nice work with some pretty tough material.
I have only had a small amount of It and
I heated it.
