Went on a walkabout this afternoon and picked up a couple of items that I thought someone might be able to work into a point or something. Take a look and tell me what you think.
This reminds me of some of the geodes that we find all over the mountain but these have a solid core rather than a crystallized interior. Still, it appears to be some sort of quartz, but I'm not sure if it could be used for knapping.
This reminds me of some of the brown veined material I've seen blades and points made of. It has a rough outer cortex shown in 3rd pic above. Still - not sure and you may not be able to actually tell from pictures. This may be one of those areas where you have to try it before you know for sure. Anyway - thought I'd ask and see if anyone might know off hand.
