- In this video Martin discusses Rhyolite, shows you how to gather it, then we make a few stone tools.

Nice. There’s a place not too far from where I live in North Carolina where the Native Americans used to mine rhyolite. You can still find pieces of it laying around on the mountain and I took a crack :-) at making a couple of small tools from a couple of pieces I found lying around and although it was a little bit harder to work than church or Flint it did create a pretty sharp edge. I’m now learning to work with quartzite and milky quartz. They fracture very differently. I’m glad you demonstrated how sharp it is after you made it. When I used to make flint blades I would slice meat with it just to show my friends how sharp it is.
Nice spalls, here in NC rhyolite is our best knappable material. We have grey, black and a higher quality green variety. The green knaps a lot like novaculite.
Nice. Thanks for posting!
Hi martin survival. I enjoy your laid back and relaxed attitude out if the field. don`t you just love the sound of stone when you find the right piece? it nice to see someone achieve some nice practical spores with out to much fuss. especially with the large hammer stone you were wheelding hope your cell phone wasn`t in you pocket. it would be nice to try to knap rhyolite unfortunately I`ve not found any in Britain yet. But fortunately we do have beautiful black Norfolk flint. however looking at the Rhyolite in your video it does seem to fracture in the same way as chert which is plentiful here. keep the videos coming I love Neolithic and early American history especially your fist nations.
Excellent instructional video.
I always wonder why so many flintknappers don't make use of the Anvil stone, saves a lot of work, is a lot easier to work on than on the ground or your leg and may save a finger or 2 from being squashed
Cool!
Primitive tech is cool.
Great video Have you ever hunted bighorn
Very neat information
I just spent all day down out here on the coast of SoCal looking for any kind of flint/chert to use with flint and steel fire-making. I had no luck at all, but I did find some very fine grain rock which I think must be quartzite. It makes thin very sharp (but strong) flakes like the flakes you were producing with rhyolite. The stone I found which seemed to work the best was a black stone (not obsidian). I wonder if this was a type of rhyolite. At any rate, I'll be looking for more of this material in the future and not wasting time looking for flint/chert. Many thanks.
How brittle are the edges the stuff I have around here the quartzite I have if made then can be easily be broken with fingers am I missing something?
How much con some one sale their
with first two stone that was way to hard to b used couldnt u use them as a hammer or no
Why is the title Quartzite when its Rhyolite?
Not yacca it’s pronounced U KA yucca but I enjoyed your video
Why are you knapping without leather pad you’re going to hurt yourself!!!!?
Pinto man my ass
Ah damn it, all I have is all this flint laying around, useless.
