Jamie, very nice looking points there
that obsidion has got some serious size to it.
i always try getting big ones from obsidion,but the yusually break 2-3 times in the process and i get nice little ones
that jasper looks like some nice material too,gonna have to get some of that and whack the heck out of it.
is it a tougher material,or pretty decent to work?

thanks guys. the jasper is nice stuff. no heat needed. needs a strong platform or itll step very easy. lot of inclusions with this stuff too but you can run through em with a little force. this obsidian had stress fractures and there is one running through the center of this piece that i was sure was gonna break. i kept very little pressure on it in my hand so it wouldnt.

ed im still trying to figure out what the hell that means  :)
