content: MT-1 (Mississippian Tahlequah, Variety 1, Weathered): Fom the famous Peoria quarry. A very hard and dense gray to off white chert. Some samplse are an even gray or off-white, while others have small darker gray spots surrounded by a thin lighter zone. Texture varies from fine to coarse, often in one selection. This material was much quarried prehistorically because large pieces could be obtained. Works best heat treated.
