I found these a few years ago, Jasper is rare to find here, Orange County, NY, but I seem to find it mostly along the Delaware River above Port Jervis, NY. Berks Co., PA is in the south-eastern part of PA, so the rock traveled... These two blades are not heat-treated, alot of the jasper is heat-treated and will show it by the red colors in the stone...
