clear or smokey obsidian
« on: November 20, 2009, 01:21:00 PM »
Do any of you knappers out there use it to make arrowheads? Got any pics?
    I saw some knives made from it recently and ,.. oh my are they beautiful. I wish I could afford some of them, one for my self and some to give away. These knives have antler or bone handles, really nice. See thru stone!
