Do you know if it reacts to heat John ? I know that it is a very knappable material. Was surprised how a tap of the hammer chips it so easily. I believe this point is heated wonderstone. The colors look typical of the change I would expect. but do not know what the original stone looked like  |

They are sensitive to changing colors when heated. one guy says 625F, a bit hotter than the coral I cook. Well, grainy coral can be heated to 650-700F so they say. Will do a test piece on next load of coral. Not commonly knapped. Lot of questions about heating it in forums. |

I thought so when Andy sent a small piece in a mixed batch trade we did before. He said he has access to a good collection spot. glad a twisted his arm to trade. |
