Playing with new phone camera and could n't help but further hijack this thread with a piece of Ohio flint recently in process on my bench. I beg forgiveness for the photo. Now this is a complex color pattern.  and this was reported as being Ohio flint as well.  go figure. |

Now this is a complex color pattern. and this was reported as being Ohio flint as well. go figure. That first one is fantastic! Makes me think of a party. The second one, if it were turned 180 degrees, looks like a map of Lake Erie. Very nice, Tom. Edit to add two pics: Correct orientation on my computer, but still upside down on my phone  I don't know why??  It should kind of look like this map.  See what I mean? Anyway..... |

Peruano Those are both stellar, that first one has so much going on...
Have you ever had luck tumbling Ohio Flint or have you just done cabs?

They both were preformed on an 80 or 100 wheel, given a kiss on the 220 nard and 260 nova wheels and tossed in to a vibe (microsonic). I'm still not satisfied with the polish but that"s my problem of rushing the net.

Now this is a complex color pattern. and this was reported as being Ohio flint as well. go figure. Not a highjack at all. I like seeing them. Those both look like Ohio flint to me. The first one is wild. After seeing so many rocks with agate banding, fine bands of a different nature are even more impressive. |

Awesome Ohio Flint, one of my favorite materials... Thanks! I'm looking forward to tumbling a batch soon. I've cabbed it and it shines up like any other high silica content agate, japer, or chert. That's to say, real shiny. |
