Sweet rock! Is it abundant enough to make a run from N.C. Worth the trip?

Thanks I sent iowabow some and gonna let leapingbare have some down at the classic. I know they can crank out someone from it. I'm excited to see leapingbare and iowabow put it to good use. Wish I could knap half way decent maybe some day... I haven't seen any online here and thought I would post it for all of y'all to see thanks for looking,

I picked up some like that slick one on the left in Barren Co. but it's blue as a fish hook. Never seen any like the others.
 I'll be at the Classic too....hint hint ;D

I found the one on the bottom in Warren Co which I think its hornstone. I just realized we are about 50 miles apart Sawfiler would be nice to meet ya sometime. Or if your ever around Bowling Green hit me up and we could swap rock or something...I have about 65 plus pounds of the stuff that I'm bringing with me.

Ok that sounds good I'm in Bowling Green for three more weeks and after that I'll be about 70 miles from you but it would be well worth the trip. I'll go ahead and warn you I can't knap just trying to meet as many knappers as possible and pick up as I go. Do you know any knappers up near Columbia?
