I’m bored, big flood over the weekend. I can’t get out and did everything I could do around the house. So help me out and post something colorful quartz included. Pretty much anything you feel is colorful.

Those are very nice, seems like everything I find is a very boring grey other than the rare quartz pieces I see. I do have three pieces with a pretty similar vein running through them though which I find really attractive . One is a broken blade I think, and then two scoring type tools.

Nice quartz finds. I find it also just not as much as the chert
 

Colorful Plains Harahey knives

Central Plains Tradition (CPT)

circa A.D. 1000 to 1400 (Wedel 1986)
circa A.D. 1200 to 1450 (Logan, Ritterbush 2010)

In the Great Plains region the Harahey knives are most always associated with Late Prehistoric bison hunting cultures and appear to have been developed or evolved on the Plains to be used primarily as a bison skinning and butchering tool.

Arrow point types associated with the Harahey knives used by the Central Plains Tradition include Washita, Harrell, Reed, Huffaker and Fresno.

The Haraheys in my image are personal finds of mine and my dad’s from south central Nebraska and north central Kansas. The group represents both river finds as well as finds found on Central Plains Tradition village sites. This type of knife is also found on Late Prehistoric Pawnee sites in central Nebraska.
The longest Harahey in this group is 7 ¼” in length and was found in two pieces.
