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 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.
