Title: Your cool looking point
Post by: Tracker0721 on September 28, 2015, 09:56:28 pm

Let's show off the cool looking stones ya'll found while knapping. I was knapping some pitch black and suddenly these sparkly red vains popped through. Love seeing unique stuff

Oh and the red doesn't show through the other side. And it sparkles. None of my other red stuff sparkles!

This one came from an unusually pretty picture jasper slab that I got in a PITH trade.

I had some gold sheen looked a lot like your point Dylan. Unfortunately, I worked it till it was gravel..  >:(

I have a fun obsidian point that I like to show the kids, I call him chief big belly.

It sure looks like Horse Creek Chert to me. A lot of it is nearly impossible to work taw, but gets a lot better cooked. The dark maroon color of it is the easiest to knap, and the yellow/green/gray grainy stuff can make a guy talk ugly.
