I like the different colours that this stuff comes in, the blues and pinks are my faves. Well, I guess the brecciated pieces are my super-faves... -Don Thanks for looking!

This looks very similar to some Ohio Flint that I bought about a year ago from The Rock Shed. It really does take a nice shine. 150FromFundy

I know this is a dumb question, but is this kind of flint the same kind that maybe a boy scout would use to create sparks and a fire? Condor

That brecciated stuff is wild. I would have never guessed the material to be flint!

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

150fromFundy, I've seen pictures of that Ohio flint the Rockshed was (is?) selling, and although they don't specifically call it Flint Ridge flint, it looks like a dead-ringer for it, so it's either from Flint Ridge or from a very similar formation.
