content: Brace Flat Chert is a dark to light green chert (green jasper) with inclusions of yellow, brown, cream, and white. No noticeable color change when heated to 500-550 degrees F. It does, however, change from dull to lustrous. Coarse textured specimens did not respond to heat-treating. When raw the texture varies from very fine crystalline structure to very coarse. It is opaque. Deposits are exposed on the sides of hillocks which characterize the area.
