I have chipped Georgetown, and it does not look like that to me. It also does not chip like any Georgetown I have chipped. Some Georgetown can be cooked, but if it is that dark, it won't take much heat at all. Maybe 350 x 6 hours? Definitely not more than that.

Hmmmm? Looks similar to hornstone but it's a lot darker and grainier than anything I've found here in indiana or Kentucky. You did a nice job flaking it! Doesn't look like Georgetown either. Ft. Payne ?

I have chipped some Ft. Payne, and this does not flake like it. For me, it is a unique piece. Now that I know what to expect, I may be able to do a good job with it.
