Good one! Is that the gray or the green? I've got a piece of that nasty gray I'm beating on. I smack it a while and then go back and do it again a few days later.

Holy crap, I can't believe you worked something that thin and purdy out of ryolite.  That point is awesome!

Sweet! I just thought our rhyolite was tough until I tried some of that Mt. Kineo stuff from Maine......:)
