Historically Colorado jasper was used exstensively by the native american indians as knapping material.
Found in a wide variety of colors around the state. Recent finds from Park county Colorado Nice piece with vibrant color! Red and yellow pieces. -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

I edited your post Dan because you had chert as the darker rock, and flint as the lighter rock.
Flint is generally viewed as darker colored and chert being lighter in color. -------------------- Education is the key to the future,
