So did he cook that black rock?! It looks great. And if he did and it works that much better, why do I  hear people say " you cant cook black rock"? I have some black novaculite just sitting around, would love to know the recipe.

Thank y'all for the compliments Gents.
Knapper,  John  only heated the spall. The stone itself is still untreated.   I know John used a kiln to heat it, my roaster only gets up to 500*. 
Black or not, it took heat well.

I can pm folks the recipe but knapper it was a 5 day cook in a programable controller to step up and down.
Tower I am soooooooo happy to see that you produced a point from that stone and to top it off an amazingly beautiful one to boot. You are an amazing talent!!!
