@clayguy1 I gather this stone from the cobble beaches, typically it is found in with quartzite and sandstone cobbles as well. Any old tough rock will do though, obsidian is far too brittle to be any use here, but that is good as the materials for a decent chopper are far easier to locate than obsidian. Try chert, jasper, basalt, meta-volcanic, quartzite, etc. It just has to be a tough stone capable of being flaked into a point.
And wear eye protection while you work!
Peace.

Where do you find the stone the chopper is made of.. volcanic obsidian glass?
is this good for grinding medicines, or would you recommend harder stone?

@SchleyFam1
Hard indurated sandstone or granite would be a good bet for a mortar for that purpose to minimize powdered stone in the mix. It would work quite well for that. But I still suggest leaning with a softer stone first to develop the technique and muscle control as a harder stone bowl takes a great deal of both, as well as longer production time.
Peace
