Very fine! Gorgeous examples! Those Florida points are made from the most interesting lithic materials. I wonder how long it takes for coral to petrify?
That dark one on the right is made of a very interesting material. It has a beveled look in the photos. Is that one used-up, or is it typical for the shape and size of the type?
 

You can hold the points made of coral up to a backlight & see the fossilized polyps. Some are specks, others quite large depending on the type of coral.

I know of a palm stump that was used as bridge support in the hillsbourough river it was basically yellow high quality translucent chert after 150 years submerged.

It’s a very re sharpened archaic knife from the Santa Fey River, stained dark from tannic acids in the water, it is coral, you can see the stirations.
