Sorry, if he told you that is Bird stone he knows nothing about Indian artifacts. It is a rock formed my mother nature.

Look in the dictionary Under “rock”.
Sorry, not a bird stone IMO, but thanks for posting

What reasons did he give you as to why he's calling it a birdstone?

I met the gentleman at an artifact show. Interestingly he had a display case full of copper arrowheads. It was his gut reaction when I showed him my find.

It's a conversation piece too.

Could be just a case of pareidolia.
If I look at it long enough, it's kind of bird shaped looking.
Though it's totally natural, not altered by man.

...Mr. seasoned collector was being facetious,
his humorous hidden context is if you capitalize "B"ird "S"tone....your stone/artifact is B.S.

HMT..people share what they've been told. Don't make it bs, just means they were given inaccurate info. Be nice..

The longer you're into the hobby, the more you'll learn. Keep your head up but eyes down!!!

Now that's a nice bird stone right there.

I wonder what kind of birds they were throwing these at? Maybe it's a yelper instead of bird stone?
