Banded slate

[Arkansaw]

Anyone know where I can buy raw material? Had a guy I was trading local flint for small pieces last year, but that fizzled out. Any advice?

Here where I am at, I find glacial slate all the time in the fields. There are some fields its thick. colors are from a pink, gray and black.

Well I don’t think we have any around where I’m at. I’ve had zero luck finding a raw piece for sale

Find someone in IN or OH. That's where all the good quality Huronian slate can be found. It's in the glacial till in the northern half of those two states. I found high quality pieces in farm fields and creeks along the Wabash River near Attica, IN. Gary
