Blacktails Points
« on: January 15, 2009, 03:34:46 pm »
The first point is a little piece of Brazilian Agate that I believe is an inch and a half long. The next one is an obsidian spear point style. The last one is one that I copied from Billy, its a Sedalia point. Hope you like, John

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

Hey John,

wow dude, those are some stunning points!  I really like the obsidian ones and that brazillian agate point is one of the most interesting colored points I have seen in a long time!  Beautiful work!

  Very nice, John. That Brazilean Agate is pretty and nice to work.

Nice points :) Does the brazialin agate need heat treating? I bought a little slab of it last year at a fair and it didn't
chip for beans :(

Dana:  The Brizilian agate will cook in a turkey roster @ 450 degrees.  A lot of it has been dyed for sale in rock shops, but I like the natural colors.  Once heat treated it chips like a good obsidian. If you have an undyed nodual or rock it cooks at a lower temperature than slabs but for a little longer time.  Watcher

I like Brazilian Agate! I too bought a couple of small slabs at a lapidary show. I guess they were for cabochons.
They knapped real well! I wouldn't think they were heat treated?
