Prettiest point I've made Wifey took it away from me
« on: December 31, 2016, 01:09:47 am »
This is a point I made a couple years ago or so from a slab I got in a point trade.
I hadn't worked much slabs at the time and I was so worried the whole time I was working on it, but I managed to get flakes to run all over it and got some short notches in the corners. I was so proud of it.
The first thing wifey said was "That ones MINE"
I was glad though, It hangs from her rearview mirror now and she cherishes it and is very protective of it.

I was told it is Owyhee picture jasper

What makes me sad is I got another piece of it in the trade but I put it somewhere and can't find it now. It's just as pretty as this piece is. One of these days I will find it I'm sure cause I remember thinking that I would put it up and save it until I had more practice working slabs.
Anyway, here it is

Wow, I can see why she took it, glad it's still in the family and hope you find the other slab soon.

Looks like Deschutes or Biggs jasper. You can knapp Deshutes raw so I say Deschutes cause it don't look heat treated colored.
Knapping....If your hobby does not consume you then you have no hobby.

Thanks
It was a good flaking rock
The colors make it real hard to see the flake scars even in hand

Thanks for sharing 1442 that is a awesome point sure glad you're wifey took it or we probably never would have gotten to see it. Hope you find the other slab. At first glance it looks like it has steps all over it. Beautiful material

Real nice!  I see why you'd wife wanted it.  If Wifey ain't happy, no body is happy :).  The other piece is probably hiding in plain site, and is waiting for the right time to be found :). Hopefully, I have time to get that good at the working.

OUTANDING looking point. It went right where it was suppose go.  Hope you  get the name of the rock right as that would be some nice rock to get ahold of.

I always thought it was Owyhee picture jasper, that's what the sender said it was.
I don't know rocks too well.

After meeting Orrum, I know he knows his rock.
