I have started knapping and need some Obsidian to slab. Anyone want to do a trade for some Agatized Coral from Ga.? I can do a box of solid corals for slabbing or a box of hollow/possible hollow or a mix. Since I am just starting out dont have to have any with color just big enough to get some 2x4or5 inch slabs. Kinda flat ones would be great. I can do a Med. or Large frb THANKS! Keith

Let me know if you still need obsidian. Do you want slabs? I have lots of fist sized. I don't knap, so I wouldn't know how to pick good ones.

James, that looks like something you had to remove after swimming in that bracky swamp water looking for coral.

Hey Kap don't bend the piece u r knapping, stone don't bend it breaks! LOL
Seriously the most common cause for breaking is not having the piece supported and it breaks!
