Heat treating Stone for Flintknapping 

Awesome video! I knew I didn’t need to have expensive equipment to do this. Thanks for the information 😁

I worked in the Oaxaca Valley at the Monastery Cuilapan Laboratory and the Archaeologist said we find this Quartz but we can't find the source and I said that is because it has been heat treated and he said, They heat treated Quartz? and I said sure they heat treated Quartz. It is what we called cold cream jar Quartz which is what he had.

Thanks . I'm in the ouachitas . Just learning . Going to try heating some novaculite from the Hot Springs area .native mines all over down here . I found an arrowhead on my land and some cutting tools , So I've just really been curiouse . As a carpenter , I think I can make me some keepsakes .

Awesome video, thanks for sharing.
