I was only half joking about cooking on stone but I recall a fondue restaurant in Denver They came out with big polish slab of hot stone that was used for heating various food types it was long time ago so not sure what type of stone it was probably granite hate cook on schist Ha Ha I have a slab of granite I got from a fabricator. I cut it to "almost" fit by propane grill. I left a couple of inches of room all around for airflow. I turn the grill onto the highest temperature possible with both burner and preheat. In 15 or so minutes the stone is over 650 degrees. Now it is ready to make pizzas without heating up the house. Cooktime? 4 minutes! If anyone cares I'll share the dough recipe. |

I can't say I've ever heated amethyst... it's not something that would have improved knapability seeing that it is just silica. I'm certainly curious what would happen if it was heated. I recall from my geology classes that the amethyst color develops due to heat; if it gets really hot it turns to citrine (I think). Michael Or prasiolite green. Depends on the metal salts present. |

captbob @shotgunner resurrected this thread because today jamesp created a thread on heat treating. This old thread is relevant to that.

My wife has orange HD buckets.
When I tag along w/her to a dog show she assigns me bucket duties(water, disposal, etc).
Calls me her bucket bitch.
Such degradation and I keep coming back for more.
