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. wink.gif

smileywaving.gif Not the best pic...These cabs are from the red,yellow,black(actually green) jasper from this earlier pic. The middle cab is ground and polished 3 dimensionally, although it's not perfectly round. Measures just shy of 2" long x .75" x .5" thick. All stones done by hand, no dop stick. I can't thank you enuff with your help in getting me started. I cannot and will not stop. groucho.gif

The fingers got some nice bleedin' in the first couple of days. Just needed more practice, but I always felt I had quick and nimble enuff fingers to get the job done dop free. It's also more fun. Cab1 was done on my 6th day of lap work, cab3 day 7 and the middle cab done yesterday, my eighth day total. Can't wait to do more. Perhaps in my cold garage today under the snow.

Good job Jeff!! Fantastic work, especially for your first time and using your fingers. I have to admit, I too prefer using my fingers, especially when making guitar picks. I slipped off the wheel one time slicing my finger right open on the edge of the wheel smiley-shocked003.gif , so be very careful! Keep up the good work, Im looking forward to seeing more made by you.

Last Sunday I took a short trip to Weld County looking for the elusive Blue Barite. I didn't find any Barite but I did find some Jasper/Chert/Agate. Dave found a few rattlesnakes too. smiley-shocked003.gif

I live in Fairplay Colo I went out yesterday to find the source of Trout Creek Chert, Some years back I ran across a deposit, but it was not of any quality. Could someone direct me to where some higher quality specimens.

Hello Chase! Welcome to the forums! sign0016.gif

It sounds like you are in a good spot to look. Some of the Jasper shown in this topic was found in that area. You may need to put in a little more search time to find the quality you are looking for.

Not familiar with that neck of the woods, but welcome to the forum!
