Re: Translucent points - let's start a thread!

Good idea here Moundbuilder ,..

here's one from San Diego County , fairly common find locally,. made from "optical quartz".
DSC02633crrs640x942.jpg

coastal cottonwood 7/8 in. long ,.. San Diego .Ca​

this point would type as a coastal cottonwood ,..although the base is a bit flat ,not concaved as this pedigree describes .
only get out a few times a year now , but on top of my list is a insitu of one of these ,..tough little suckers to see,..they blend .. ;D

Re: Translucent points - let's start a thread!

I'll play too.

All of these pieces are from North and South Dakota. Mostly Knife River Flint, though there are a couple Agate pieces in there too.

The first three are from Mongolia and are made from some crystal clear material.

The next three are from North Carolina.

The next four are from Georgia.

And the last two are from Ohio.
