That's a gorgeous piece! Love, love, love it!

From what I understand Polish flint is no longer being exported from Poland, so that makes it extra special!

It also makes it expensive when you can find it!

I was almost distracted from the beauty of the egg by the exceptional polish.

Thanks, they do polish up real nice, got some more to cut and then I will need to drive across the mountain again!

woodman does all flint normally have such a nice pattern as that one does or is this a once in a ton piece
I have seen flint chunks that sometimes have fossils inside of them or on them and were dark to black in color (even a little glassy) but with no indication that there any pattern inside of them

Not all flint is Polish flint. Every piece of Polish flint that I have seen has the patterns in it.
