Bob, lets make it real simple, if your not discussing an American indian artifact, or posting American indian artifact pictures to view then do not post on the the American Indian Artifact Forum. You want to discuss supposedly Jesuit rocks do it on the Jesuit forum...

That material is not the 'normal' material used for bannerstone like that.

Yes because while slate is 2.5-4 on Mohs hardness scale, granite is 6-7...twice the hardness and an unlikely lithic to be used for bannerstones.

Why not just google - Images for Authentic Granite Bannerstones and see for yourself. You will see one almost exactly like mine that is on i believe the 3rd row down that went for 9,500. The Native Americans many times used the material that was available instead of preference.

I googled it and the first thing that came up was this.

(Link deleted by mod, feel free to copy and past the actual post though)

While there is no doubt some bannerstones were made from granite/quartz, there is nothing wrong with providing factual information about materials that artifacts are made from.
