Found another heartbreaker, about a sixth of what would have been a greenstone bannerstone I think? Second piece was so symmetrical I had to pick it up and later realized it was pecked on all three sides and polished on the top and bottom, pendant preform maybe? I'm not sure, what do you think? Last piece is some type of greenstone tool, could have been a celt I suppose. I dont know if the large chip off was intentional or later damage. Any opinions / comments are welcomed and appreciated, thanks for looking.

Looks like an unfinished celt, thirty7. Rough knapping done, pecking underway (maybe finished for a quick-&-adequate one) but edge grinding never started.

Then again, what I don't know about later stuff could fill a coal train :dontknow:

May be teasers but they sure are pleasers. I love the greenstone material they made some beautiful stuff from it. Highly prized around here. Not sure what the first two are?

thanks for the comments, GL, the material looks very similar, is that greenstone? I really like the greenstone material, I found a raw piece today and knapped and pecked on it a little, it's surprisingly easy to work.
