jamesp I think I see where you headed with these "Polka Dots". After seeing the crazy money someone just spent on a very small slab of Ocean Jasper, you're trying to create your own. First the polka dots, next the hardness. Can't fool this old SE Texas boy!! Making Moh 7 glass might be a challenge Henry.

How about casting diamond dust in it so that it eats up diamond wheels Jason. That would be sinister. Glass doesn't like to have many foreign objects cast into it. Opal is one rock that it can have cast into it. Adventurine dust can be added for sparkles.

It must be so gratifying to you to see your art glass turned into... art.

Gabriel KILLED that! Wowzer!! Knapping points has become popular Jason. Fluting points is top of the game. Flutes assist hafting. I believe spearheads were also fluted to serve as a blood groove as your military bayonet had. With jig: Native man's method: Who does this ?:

Where can we find some of your slabs to purchase? I saw one in the traveling box and wish I was part of it!
