Awesome finds Wells ! You have some varied and beautiful materials ! Is that piece on the second row, left side a light grey/white chert, or would you call that some type of Chalcedony? Also, on your scale markers, is each white and black segment an inch?

Yes 1 inch. That is Ramah Chert from Labrador (Ramah Bay)

Way cool to find Ramah Chert in PA, have you found any other pieces of that material there locally? From what I have been reading, it is a significant find in helping to understand the migration of peoples, ideas, or materials from the Labrador area southward along the coast roughly 1500 to 2000 years ago.

I only found one ramah artifact but seen a few in eastern Pa. collections. I've seen several examples in books that came from eastern Md. and from Del. NJ. There were different point types represented also.

Those are Cool! I really like the material that you are finding, and the milky quartz point is a ''Dandy''!
