I'll try not to bring my hobby to this forum too often, but this point is just too pretty not to share, and I happen to have photobucket already pulled up . . .

Man, that's really cool looking! I've had  a couple of arrowheads and the neck of Indian pottery jar since I was kid, but nothing that cool looking.  I also have a bunch of shark's teeth.  My big brother used to find all this stuff back in the mid 60's when they were building the interstate through our area.



And you thought Trek isn't cool.

It looks like it's made of Jell-O or Gummi.

That is a very cool arrowhead.  That is quartz?  Must have been a bear to make it, because I think quartz is pretty hard stuff.

It's not quartz, although some Indians did knap points out of quartz.  It's an agatized chert out of Oklahoma known as Pine Top chert . . . I had found flakes of it before, but that's the first point I ever found made of it.
