Will heat improve it?

I've been saving this really nice spall of novaculite for something special. I know it doesn't have to be heat treated but can I cook it and would it improve it? Any recipes? Thanks

It looks like with flake patterns that long it already has.

If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

You may be right Eddie I have no idea it was sent to me from my cousin. The white stuff looks pretty slick but the translucent stuff looks slightly steppy.

If it don't act like a Princes on her wedding night
you may just have to warm it up a bit too,

Probably already cooked, but if you want go to 650-800 range. You need kiln or fire pit
