another odd question
« on: August 29, 2012, 11:28:18 pm »
 What's the strangest, or oddest thing you have come across in the stone you were knapping. I don't have a pic yet, but today I came across a fibrous material in a pocket in the stone. Its like a charcoal colored fiberglass. I will try to post a good pic tomorrow.

I've found water spalling. It makes you wonder what the moisture content of a stone it.

Once in a long while I will find a point in a chunk of rock ;)



Seriously though, I have found quartz crystal pockets and never seem to keep them in the point though.

I've seen this quite a bit, but I believe this is the best one I've exposed yet. Usually hunt these after a big rain. Never thought to look inside rocks when I was a kid.  ::) (crawlers)
