Title: Great Basin Tool Stone Sources
Post by: Majuba Tom on September 27, 2014, 01:23:57 pm

I stumbled across this document last weekend while I was searching for new places to go rock collecting. To my surprise there is a Obsidian source less than 5 miles from my house.  :o.  I hope this might help someone else who is looking for a place to find some knappable  stone.

I hope this link works but if not just do a google search "Great Basin Tool Stone Sources". That is the title of the document.

Enjoy,

Awesome find. My grandparents live in Amargosa Valley. Maybe a christmas trip is in order.
