I love flintridge flint. Yours is stunning! I cut some slabs of it at the shop today! One of the old timers there said "Flint? Why? Do you make arrowheads?" And I said "Look at it!" After he bothered to look at it, he agreed. Flint can be outstanding.

Where do you get your flint from? I haven't seen any that look that good and I've been wanting to try some in my next batch.

How many thumblers do you have going at once? You always have nice stuff and a super shine.

How many thumblers do you have going at once? You always have nice stuff and a super shine. I've got 2 Lot-os going,one in 1000 prepolish,and one in ao polish,run them on 3 day cycles,thus a batch out every 3 days. 3 Lortone 12 lb rotaries doing the bulk of the rough.Run them in 60/90 only. The Dad_Ohs,I acquired these in a swap with a member here.Every now and then a member will offer some for sale or trade,just have to keep your eyes open,or post wanted in the buy sell trade section. snuffy

Beautiful batch Snuffy! I'm not too familiar with Flint Ridge, never worked any, but..... the stuff I've seen doesn't seem to have that much red, this is REALLY pretty!!!

Flint ridge is often heat-treated to bring out colors.
