Near Hixton Wisconsin, there's a place called Silver mound. Known for it's silicified sandstone(sugar quartz) quarries, and ancient history of people through several thousand years of the stone ages coming there for this high quality knappable stone. It's really pretty stuff, too. Many colors to find there. The quarries an the entire hill area are off limits, but it's surrounded by large crop fields with lots of pieces of this stone lying around. I've been there a few times now, and always find flakes, chunks, and worked pieces, but still haven't found a finished point there. Getting close, though. Here's what I just finished cleaning from my trip there a few days ago. Thinking about doing some lapidary work on some pieces.
