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?

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.
