Yes Sir George!

I like the looks of it.
Be interested to see how it behaves after you heat treat it.

and if there's any color change, nice point from a tough rock George, Bub

I'll get some better before and after pictures when I cook it.  I was hitting that little point as hard as I could for sure.  Some of the rock is almost translucent, which is what I used for the point.  The red rock is grainier, hoping heat really helps it.  I didn't  buy the rock.  the guy who sent it saw my points on another forum or on facebook and emailed to ask if I wanted some and then shipped it to me.  Stuff like that doesn't normally happen to me.  He's for sure going to get some points back.  Paul, Sunday afternoon should work great.  I'll head over after we eat lunch.
