The rock came from Cipriano, he called it uvalde gravel. I heated it overnight at a little over 400 degrees. Turned out nice, but...

Man that is a bummer! Was turning into a really nice point too. Oh well, there's more rocks out there.

That's the price we sometimes pay for pushing our skills to their limits & beyond. Great set of pics.

I feel your pain too.  Being OCD can be a real detriment to flint knapping.  I need to spall out some rock similar to that.
