Indian Blanket Rhyolite

[beatup1354]

Thought i would be a glutton for punishment sunday , although i really like the colors in this material it is a real bear to work my left hand ( the one that holds the piece while knapping ) gets so sore after a go around with this stuff one reason i work a point up about every two years or so out of this rock. the last photo is wet to show the colors a bit better .

Nice work 1354, I know exactly what I’d do with it, I’d frame it with a black background and three waste flakes and hang it in my living room, there’s just no better looking art than rock art....Spectacular.

I didn't know Rhyolite could look so good.

Yes some Rhyolites are real beauties, Indian Blanket , Wonderstone and Hickoryite are just a few and all are tough as all get out.

Hey Bret, That is a beautiful blade and really tough. I bet that was a real workout.
