This is absolutely beautiful.
This is how our ancestors made knives, spears, arrows, scrapers, cutters, sickles and more.
He starts off with a massive, ungainly hunk, then slowly shapes it into a precious blade core.

albite grains in schist
This couple of a small and large albite grain reminds me of 'Meoto Iwa', the married rocks of Japan.

Daytime scene on a cloudy and rainy winter day at a big public park in a major city, facing a small and lightly-wooded area where only a couple of hearty small trees are still hanging on to their leaves; the other trees, with their darkened bark standing in contrast to the light layer of white snow on the floor, include varieties of elm, maple, and birch; also prominent in the scene is a giant rock - half buried in the ground - of at least seven meters in length is actually four-hundred and fifty year old metamorphic rock called Manhattan Schist; the island is basically made of this rock, known for its strength and ability to support big skyscrapers; the sky is cold and overcast and it is still raining, but very lightly.
Daytime scene on a cloudy and rainy winter day at a dandy public park in a major city, facing a great paved stone terrace surrounded by nature; a small frozen lake on one side and a grand staircase and bridge on the other, the eighteen-sixty-four Bethesda Terrace and its iconic fountain is a work of art and a city landmark; there are about one hundred people touring the lower terrace, despite its being covered in puddles and slippery spots; the sky is cold and overcast and it is still raining, but very lightly.
Daytime scene on a cloudy and rainy winter day at a grand public park in a major city, standing at the edge of a small, frozen lake and facing a group of small Canadian geese; they are lined up along the cement wall of the terrace, presumably begging tourists for snacks; at the other side of the lake are the still-colorful trees of a small wood; at the horizon are the silhouettes of towers of buildings on the City's west side; the sky is cold and overcast and it is still raining, but very lightly.
Daytime scene on a cloudy and rainy winter day at a sweet public park in a major city, on a paved pathway facing a lightly-trafficked fareway, just as an elegant horse-drawn carriage makes its way past; in the foreground, there is a glowing lamp on an antique lamppost, surrounded by snow and slush; off in the distance, past a stand of bare winter trees, is the silhouette of a small section of upper-east side skyline; the sky is cold and overcast and it is still raining, but very lightly.

Have you ever visited the #Schist #Villages? Built from the stone that gives them their name, these 27 villages are nestled in the valleys and mountains of Central Portugal. Discover scenic trails, rivers, and traditions. Let yourself be surprised!

Bend, don’t break. If schist can do it, so can you. #scenesfromcentralotago #nzgeology #schist #aotearoa #newzealand
A white window on a schist rock house with a sing saying "Casa da Janela Branca" translated means the House of the White Window.
This picture was captured in a village called Candal, Portugal. It's full of schist houses.

Detail image of schist outcrop in northern Idaho. Rock is primarily yellow-orange with darker banding visible, with some bands compressed into wavelike pattern by metamorphic processes. A smattering of pale green lichen is visible.
Detail of highly metamorphosed rock outcrop in northern Idaho. Rock is mostly black and white in a sort of reticulated pattern, with two reddish inclusins (garnets I think? ) visible. Mineral specks in the black rock can be seen reflecting more vividly colored glints of orange and blue if one looks closely.
Detail of gneiss boulder in northern Idaho. The rock is full of contrasting bands of dark gray and white, with the banding folded by metamorphic processes into an overall L-shape.
Detail of roadcut in northern Idaho. Top right of image is mostly full of dark black stone (amphibolite?) marbled with veins of white, while lower left is mainly banded schist with an overall rusty hue, and with obvious folding and boudinage. Some vertical lines of dynamite drill holes from the road cut are visible in the scene.
#RockinTuesday Last week I took a little tour to photograph some of the oldest rocks in Idaho. Here are four details from the Priest River Metamorphic Core Complex, with ages from around 1.6 to 2.6 billion years.

Closeup photo of a jagged pebble lying on bedrock. The bedrock is a schist formation rich in mica, which is reflecting golden light abundantly throughout the image. The slice of focus is narrow, with soft focus in both foreground and background.
#RockinTuesday I've been reading up on metamorphic core complexes, so we'll do this shiny schist from the Clearwater-Boehls Butte complex in north-central Idaho.
