K. Ron, Maybe we can try some heat on it and see how it comes out. I think a lot of it was weather worn and had cracks running through it. But if we can break it down enough we may be able to heat treat it and get some useable stuff out of it. James Parker (Robustus)  would know more about it than I though!

That rock Ron has will not heat treat.. o have taken it up to 550 with no change..
That rock works best if you soak it in water before you knapp it. But i'v made some nice stuff from it.

Ron's rock is good material, it just had a lot of freeze-fractures in it. When you get a solid spall, it works good. More rock=good.

No, I didn't move fast enough I guess. Barry got some of it, of course. :) . I got a couple chunks at TN last year.
