This stuff can make useable points, but would not want it to be my only rock for tools.

Nice work, that looks like some real tough grainy rock.
-
Dang Nc, thats some tuff lookin material :o, good work on the tuff stuff.
-
Nice points do you use wood or antler to work that stone.

Trapper Rob, I used hammer stone to knock off large flakes, then scraped sides to get the shoulders. I used an elk antler to knock off some flakes also and it worked pretty well. The final pressure flaking was done with copper tipped Ishi stick.

Very nice. I don't think I have seen that ripe peach color.
Sweet.

That is some tough looking but attractive rock. Nice work.

Hey, I know them points!
Fine job nclonghunter! That's some tough stuff.
-
That is a sweet color does it come in large pieces.
-
Caveman, I got it on a trade and one piece is as big as a basketball and the other one about half that size. I made these from the smaller piece that is now about the size of a softball. The guy I traded with said he can get more if I want it. It comes from Wilkes County, NC.
The flake scares are hard to see in a picture unless the lighting is just right, but they are knapped pieces.
Thanks for the comments from everyone.

Nice work on some tough rock. Rick B

I would be interested in big spalls if it is red like that.
