Thanks fellas!  And thank you to everyone that lined me out on how to heat treat this stuff.   Now that I know it's decent stone I'll have to grab more of it!  Josh

On a whim, I worked a raw flake this morning while waiting for the fog to lift up here in south Dakota.  Worked alright with a hammerstone, but my antler tine wouldn't touch it pressure flaking.  I dug out my old copper flaker and applied a lot of elbow grease to squeak out a simple serviceable point.  That stuff is tough in the raw form.  Josh
