Title: Some fun with Jasper
Post by: Zuma on January 26, 2014, 12:36:02 pm

One of my favorite lithics. Some heat treated some raw. I have some photos off individual
pieces if anyone wants a cameo. I am not a fancy knapper and tend to be happy with abo grade work.
I waste to much hard sought material trying to refine this pretty gnarly VA jasper.
The sun is so low in the south and the shadows are long but I tried my best with the pics.

Thanks folks.
The jasper is loaded with crystals and inclusions and varies from black
 to translucent amber and orange.

HAHA. Don't listen to Alan !! That is some B E A utiful stuff you've got there. And I like what you've done with it. Looks like what you would find arrow head hunting. And yes I would love to trade for some of that ;)

Thanks Stringman.
Deerhunter, couldn't you keep the secret? lol
Knapper, I am on the road right now, Lower AL.
I have some dregs with me. Good for small points.
I may have exhausted most of my good stuff back home too but I am sure I can round
up enough for some arrow tips when I get back home.
The material is only found in a small location and I have to dive the river for most.
If you all like the yellow you may also like the chocolate.
