Agatized coral knife

I guess that's what you'd call this little Guy.
I love the material..if this had been fire treated it would be China white.

dude, I swear I have seen this before, did you post this earlier or am I going nuts? lol

 

[GatorBoy]

i like agate anything, especially points. why do you think coral anyway?...is that really really common down there in swamp ape land?

 

[GatorBoy]

Haha.. yes ..I wouldn't say really common as in the whole state.. but certain areas have fossil/agate..(Miocene) coral formations and it was utilized alot by certain groups especially during the archaic period here...alot of it was heat treated also.

nice stuff, I way prefer that to obsidian, great for lithics to be sure, but boring as all get out. I love a nice variegated jasper too.
