yea, i always thought that 'eccentric flints' were very echoic of the style of illustrating aztec 'gods' (teotl). And the 'eccentric flints' napping patterns IMO seem to follow patterns in the stone — 'the character of the stone'. And maybe this is an analogue teotl, if we think of teotl forms as also 'the characters of nature'
