WHAT IS HIGH GRADE STONE?
Anything you can run a 1/2/” or more flake with a pressure flaker.

HEAT TREATING:
Heat treat a few FLAKES of everything you got except HIGH GRADE Raw Stone, Obsidian, Dacite, Basalt, Hornstone, Sonora, Fort Payne, or Rhyolite. Start with flakes and spalls less than 1/” thick for 200F for 24 hours to dry it out. Then raise the temp to 275F and hold for 4 hours. Let cool down for 12 hours. Chip and compare. If no difference, put back I at 200F for 1/2 hour, then raise to 275 for 1/2 hour, then raise to 325 for 4 hours.

Let cool down for 12 hours. Chip and compare. If no difference, put back in at 200F for 1/2 hour, then raise to 275 for 1/2 hour, then raise to 325 for 1/2 hour, the raise to 375 for 4 hours.

Repeat with temp going up 50F until you reach 600F or nice chippable stone. Whichever comes first. If no good result, or things blow up, let us know.
