Thanks Ethan, I like how the flake scars show on Porcelanite. It is kinda tough to knap but when finished you have a real tough point. The ancient people must have loved this lithic for its toughness. And I think they must have been even more happy to find it in Red.

Just imagine what it would look like, if it was rubbed down in mineral oil.

Here are a few examples of red porcelainite that we found here at the house. A couple appear darker than the others but all are the same stone. These finds represent paleo up to the end. Couple real heartbreakers in the mix.. i think that porcelainite was a favorite, in whatever color we find it, as they made very high quality artifacts from it. Much like high grade basalt. My 2 cents. Middle of Montana.1 PhotoJudith Basin, Montana
