Title: Hillbilly you wre right about the ballast stone.

I tried breaking some today and ran into freeze cracks. I did manage to get some large enough flakes off to try to pressure flake a bird point. Hope to have a camera in a few weeks so I can post my mistakes.

Yeah, I've got a  chunk of it sitting in my yard that mostly breaks into cubes. I'm gonna try to get some gun flints out of it. :)
