This rock fell out of the sky and it was really hard, so I spent a lot of time turning it into this arrowhead. First time crafting with sky rocks. Any tips?

Sky rocks bored of being in sky, so they come to ground. Ground rocks want to be in sky, so making them into arrowheads better. Also they fly longer.
10 0 ReplyYeah, but this stuff is so much harder than flint. You have no idea how difficult it was to knap. I'm thinking I can re-use this thing 10, maybe 12 times.

Pretty sure flint is harder than iron. Flint is a 7 on the Mohs scale, while iron is typically between 4 and 5.
4 0 ReplyAll I know is I keep trying to chip it and it won't chip. Also, what's a Mohs?
2 0 ReplyIt's a scientific scale of how hard things are. Diamond is a 10, copper is like a 3, and talc is a 1.
Have you tried putting it in snow before you chip it? Cold makes thing more chippish
