If your talking about the white stuff, it's carbonate.

Nope ... I should have been more specific. What is the primary material of the blade? It looks like chalcedony. Can you tell?

Hey, Bro.

The material is Owl Creek black chert. Pretty stuff, ey?

Charlie, what's the material on that sucker?

Reminds me of a joke...

Q: What is that white stuff in birdshit?
A: It's birdshit, too!

Yup ... it's pretty. Mohs hardness scale 7. Seems like that was the ideal material for flintknapping ... chert, chalcedony, and petrified stuff.

Yup. Brittle enough to be sharp, but not so brittle that it can't be worked.

Who, us, crazy? (mock disbelief)

Crazy? Nah.

Rocks in your head? Maybe.
