I was looking around to see what some heat treated Burlington would cost and found you cant buy any anywhere! is it super rare or something! one guy has a web sight and a quarry but he just sells the stuff he makes and it is awesome stuff!! beautiful rock! it don't seem fair he wont sell any lol!! I remember years ago you could get it. must be running out.

Contact Curtis Smith, AKA CurtsCherts. If anybody has it, Curtis does, and he is a good guy to deal with.

I have a little, but people tell me mine is high ridge, not sure what that means. 

I need to make another run to the creek before it gets cold. My pile dwindleth...

I like going to the creek....

A similar rock to Burlington is Keokuk and it is available.

As said check with Curts Cherts (Curtis Smith) or Eric Morris of Erics Rocks.

Much of the Burlington that was sold in the past came from developments around the St Louis area. When the economy tanked construction dropped and supply of this rock dropped off. Also the high price of fuel made it more costly to transport. We should see more of this rock in the future now that more construction is taking place and fuel cost are dropping.  This will be the case if people can even gain access to this sites.

I thought all the Burlington was used up to
 make the Thebes Gap Cashe.
