          I think that is Rhodonite, and I think that was some of the rock Bruce (2ndoldman) gave the time he visited me. Was tough for me to knap.

        Gotta love flint ridge and the work is super but gotta go with the 10 o-clock point also, really cool lithics. Mosquitoes, frozen in flight here.

          Nice work!

          I'm jealous, it's barely going to get above freezing today. I hate the cold.

            Isn't Flintridge just amazing? I rarely work it but I have a hoard of it. Nice looking points!

              Roy has pulled out some amazing color this fall! I got luck last time I went to Flintridge and was able to go through his stash he keeps for good customers. I was able to get some vibrant stuff.

                Like the Flint Ridge, obsidian, and some of the other colorful rocks I knap and polish I buy at knap-in's and the coastal plain chert Georgia variant I pick up on my property. I have around a half 5 gallon bucket of coastal plain chert I intend to heat treat and knap soon.

                I buy mine at knap ins or trade. I know I have a decent source of flint near my property but I have yet to track down that Kentucky blue.
