This blue white and red rock was found in an indian campsite 20-30 away from King's Quarry in Pennsylvania. It was found with a jasper cache. It doesn't look like anything I've seen in Pa . I'm thinking Flint Ridge Ohio but I've never seen any flint ridge with exactly these colors. the three pieces fit thogether and appears to have been heated. the arrowhead cache was made from some rare jasper as well. any idea what the red white and blue rock is?

A cache of arrowheads, how cool... It kind of seems like that stone might be source material to make more, looks a little similar to a couple of the arrowheads.

Looks like jasper but could be flint/chert mix as that can have blue looks as well. As to where it originated that's hard to tell unless someone more familiar with the regions ancient tribes can speak on it or maybe a local rock hound.
You and others are probably aware that indians traded such materials and your find may have traveled a long way much as you suspect Ohio. Neat find that :)
