What is this rock? I found it on the east coast of Australia and have been pressure-flaking it. There is a video in comments that shows how many small black crystals it contains.

I found this rock in Newcastle NSW Australia, it has a lot of little crystals in it, some black and some clear. It is very hard and very pretty, I will post a video highlighting the reflective crystals in the comments. I have been pressure flaking it by the way.

Delete if not allowed. I am wondering if anyone can tell me how the small curvy flake scars at the base were formed. Pressure flaking? If so, how did they get a "bite" on that to have enough force to flake it? Thank you!

Obsidan Gunther I posted yesterday. Here's a pic showing my tools that I used. There have been some questions about what bone I use. I mainly use leg bone for pressure flaking and notching. It works really well. But i do use antler as needed. Leg bones are cheap and easy to find.

first 4 knapping results. i've been having a lot of fun breaking rock and trying to get predictable outcomes. i tried to get the general shapes i wanted but i still need a lot of practice getting consistent flakes and thinning my preforms. i only used boppers, i haven't done any pressure flaking.

Need help with a preform! (pressure flaking)

I have preformed biface, of some sort of white stone (i had made some decent progress on a similar preform of obsidian, but I misplaced the piece)... I cant seem to get it to flake properly. Small, shallow flakes at best (no feathering). Im fairly new at this, so maybe its m technique or my flaker isnt sharp enough? I tried hammering into a reasonable point (its copper). Could use advice.

How do you pressure flake sharp angles?

Whenever I pressure flake my angles always come out really broad, but I see on here people with really nice sharp angles on their edges, which means it can be done. How do you do that though? I tried changing how much force I put on the flaker, but it doesn’t matter how much force I put on it, it just changes how deep the flake is.

cut this rock open and the texture/color inside is a bit different than what i’ve seen and the rest of the bag. it’s pretty much what everybody says to look for, off white, scaley but not “shiny”, and flakes off with little pressure. def cut, everything here is just making sure it’s nothing bad

My lovely wife got me the 15 geode pack from national geographic. These are the best out the bunch unfortunately I dont have a rock saw so a few of them blew up into nothing before I realized you could start to pressure flake some of them apart. Rest of the pieces are on my window and In my plants.

I have a problem with making too many plans because I feel pressured and then "flaking" on them. DAE?

So, I know this is a topic that people who have a different attachment style will probably be exasperated about. I feel you, I also feel uncomfortable with myself on this. I just need to discuss it.

I often feel like I "should" be socializing and doing activities with my friends. And I do these things and I enjoy them. But once in a while a date with a friend comes up and it's in a more intense time for me, so I really feel that I can't make any great plans, yet I feel pressured to say yes even though I don't feel comfortable with it. Then, inevitably, I cancel, either last minute or a bit sooner, and I'm left stammering and feeling or knowing in some cases that I've let my friend down. Yet I just do often need time alone.

I feel like this is a problem because I used to be frequently admonished by my parents or forced by them to participate in plans that I didn't want to participate in, so now I feel obligated to say "yes" to plans with people even though I don't want to because it feels like I don't have an alternative in the moment. Then, when I'm not talking to them, I feel safer to consolidate my own boundary again, hence why I return later to cancel. It's not meant to disrespect them, but is a result of me feeling pressured and scared of saying no at first due to my previous experiences with it. The more these people value my confirmation that I'll partake, the more scared I am to say no.

Does anybody else get this?

Define Primitive. Does it mean ancient? Or simply basic? I used a copper pin to pressure flake this. I could have used antler, but I had access to copper, which is better at the job so I used it.

Spent about an hour and a half in the woods busting quartz crystal to no avail. Randomly found a quartzite percussion flake and took my pressure flaker to it. The only point I walked out of the woods with.
