Our cut and ground preforms are different than anyone else's.

(At least that we know of)

*WE SUGGEST YOU DON'T ORDER SLICES/GROUND PREFORMS with RAW ROCK. SEPARATE ORDERS WOULD BE IDEAL. If you take the risk and order them together we WILL NOT REFUND OR RESEND the MATERIAL that got damaged!**

Our 'cut and ground preforms' are rounded on all sides, thinned out, making pressure flaking and knapping faster. Chipping is much easier because the ground preforms are set up for you to make the perfect finished piece.

Our 'preshaped' items are only shaped into a point on either side. It is still thick like a slab, but still very useful in the knapping world!
