Rare find for my location

Morning,

Finally braved the wet and cold weather and did a little digging. I found what appears to be a crystal arrowhead. Crystal or "clear rock" as most people here would call it is rather rare for this neck of the woods.

Upon close inspection, there are three lines running parallel to one another on this piece...these have some dirt and inclusions in them. There is a chance that this is a piece of really clear agatized palmwood and those lines are 'grain' in the wood. I will put a magnifying glass to it and see what I can figure out later. Anyhow it was a really nice find and a first for me. I have 'clear' points that are colored...red, topaz, and pink...mostly of agatized petrified wood, but no clear ones.

I also found about 90% of a pot about a foot away from the point. The odd thing about that is this is a mostly paleo site....very little pottery ever found there. Seems another component to this site has appeared... ;D ;D ;D

Happy Hunting,

Atlantis

You'd better lockbox that baby! Read my "7 inch spear point post" in this same forum.

mhmmmmmmm, from the pic, your right it doesn't look so much like glass, but you can't be completly sure by a picture. don't be so quick to judge on a photo. wait till you hold it in your hands.

Picking myself up off the floor after seeing that point. WOW! What a beautiful and unique find. I am so wanting to find one for myself. Ain't gonna happen here, though.

Tony,

I've never seen anything like them before? What exactly are they made from? I'd hate to think I walked right past something like this thinking it was just a piece of glass sticking out of the ground!

Found them on a web site and for the life of me I can't relocate them.

Will keep on Re-Googling.
