Hello all, I just started my first point out of some obsidian since that was the only material I could find to buy in a rock store. I live on the east coast of NC and ain’t many rocks to be found naturally. But the reason for my post here is that years ago my brother found a arrow head point in the field and is my favorite point I’ve seen. We thought of it as red flint and I wanted to try and make some just like it but can’t seem to find brown or red flint anywhere on the market as if it doesn’t exist.
I did find a small rock on a field path that I believe is the same material but I feel it is in no shape or size for me to knap to a point. So I wanted to make sure we identified the material correctly and to see if there is a source that I could buy some from.
The point is small and is sort of waxy looking compared to the glassy look of obsidian.
