A piece of catlinite

[Up-North]

This piece of catlinite has been cut. Then snapped.
It was probably tossed and never utilized.
S.E. Minnesota surface find.

I really can’t be sure. Catlinite is a reallysoft stone. You can surely see how they scored it all the way around and then snapped it. Thanks for looking Florida boy and keep um coming.
