aDave Did I get it this time? Anyhow Dave I look forward to visiting with you and your wife! Rockoonz I tell you that RVING is the way to go but if not then Quartzite for the winter is nice but for my money Wickenburg is the one. Vlose Enough To surprize/Phoenix for all the medical stuff and easy shopping for every thing in Surprise without the horrors of Phoenix traffic.

I live in rock free North Carolina. I learned to knapp with toilet tanks, porcelain tiles, ceramic porcelain plates, vase bottoms etc. Certain beer and wine bottle bottoms. Put a 20 Nain in it and shake vigorously and the bottom falls off. TV glass is fantastic, Older monitors have nice green glass. Go to old dumps in the woods and get vinegar and bleach jug bottoms, the collectors got all the whole ones but you can get tge botyoms. Also Milk Of Magnesia bottoms, love that cobalt blue glass. Best of all is the white bottom glass of , oh oh forgot that makeup stuff that came in thick white jars, help me out folks. Some stained glass scraps are thick enough. Biggs jasper and polka dot knapp with no heat treatment. Contact almost any one one here that sells rough and they probably have obsidian. At last fheck Tony/Catmandew on here had about 4 tractor trailer loads!!! LOL. The man loves rocks! I have a good selection of heat treated Kay County chert from Ok, heat tteated Novaculite from Arkansaw, heat treated Pedernales or Edwards Plateau whatever it is from Texas and some heat treated coral from Florida but I won't sell it. I could trade you some depending on n what you got. Best obsidian is a type called Black Butter, it's the king!!! Look up Dog Valley Dick, he is on facebook. He has black butter plus others. Tell him the one legged cowboy sent you!
