I kinda thought that also. That is why I thought maybe it was used for celebration. Now it could be black quartzite.

So... I want to hear it. Because I already know What ones found in Florida sell for.

That is bad to the bone! Congratulations. Never found a whole one here in S.W. Ga. They are here, but I haven't had any luck on one. Only broken ones so far. I think that material comes further north than where I am. North Georgia / NC / TN?

BTW, How many times did you have to look at it and re-look at it on the way home?

Talking about looking at a nice find while driving back home, it takes me five minutes to decide where I should put my artifacts, so they do not get damaged during the drive. Most times, I'll end up with the artifact in my lap, while driving. Is that strange? Honestly?
