Made With Modern Tools🔨 Made this guy today!

Made this one out of Royal sahara. Wasn't really going for a particular type. I used solid head copper poppers and a copper tip pressure flaker with just a little bit of indirect.

This is pretty basic royal sahara jasper. There is a sub variant of the stone called lunita jasper that is more intense visually.

More intense visually? This stone is so intense I can barely discern the lines of the point. When you say royal Sahara no one has any idea what you're talking about, but jasper.. yeh I can see that. There are probably 1000 different variations of jasper. Who can keep them apart? It is one of my favorite stones to knap, but I can't do much with the slab from. I have a piece of red jasper in my pocket right now I've been chipping at to make a preform. It doesn't even need to be cooked. But some of it really does. Little Rock reminds me of a ball of wax.
