I can't remember where I got this one.
I'm assuming it's made from flint (England)?
I just was looking for something and saw it laying on a shelf in the showcase.
Looks worked-then again I :dontknow: I do like the butterscotch colouring.

natural.... there is a flint gravel path at Cantigny in Illinois where I can pick those up all day long. Same color too.
Thanks for the clarification on this one.
I will keep it maybe to play around with it in the future.
 

English flint is usually black. Le Gran-Pressigny from France is usually butterscotch colored. A lot of the white or cream colored flint from IL turns butterscotch after it’s been in a creek or river for years.

3 pieces that I picked up in England.
