LOT 77A

15.9oz of rough Banded Chert striped Flint for knapping, Lapidary, tumble Polish, or Shape into amazing Cabochons!!. Beautiful stones, banded Gasper, marbled Gasper, chalcedony, and common green opal. There are blues, cream, yellows, reds, greens, and other beautiful colors mixed together. These have tiger eye like qualities when polished up. See last pic for finished pieces.

These are hand selected by me to find the most vibrant striking pieces! Some may be preforms or artifacts. My 2 creeks meet in a meadow that Native Americans Mesquakuie, and Soux, used to mine Burlington Flint from. Our fine flint was traded hundreds of miles away for it's fine quality. Which means it has more waxy glassy surface from larger amounts of silicone when the rock was formed.  This creates some translucency also making these stunning stones color more 3 dimensional as well as being strong (8 on mohs scale).

Pictured is the 15.9oz of banded chert (1-1.5 inch chunks) you will receive if purchased. They are naturally broken and tumbled through a sandy Creek. They are amazing for cabbing, and shaping into jewelry pieces.

I believe in knowing and seeing the individual rough stones and gem stones you want to purchase! This means less wasted rocks you will have to toss out, and more of exactly what you'd like! So please look through the pictures. (Last two pics are what they would look like polished up.

I have several different colors, sizes and shapes and I am happy to gather an assortment for you to chose from if you would like a personalized grab for chipping, slicing, or otherwise shaping. So it's like you are walking the creek rock hunting for your pick if stones. feel free to send me a message with special requests.

Thanks for looking and happy shopping and crafting!
