He will never forget that first beauty

Is it Horse Creek Chert maybe?

That was my first thought. Heckuva find for anybody, veteran or beginner.

Wowzers, not sure old the young man is, but put that thing in a frame and hang it on a wall. Far too nice of a point to get lost/misplaced.

just think, the guy that made that years ago probably heard his friends saying the same ways we are saying here

WOW

That is one very cool looking piece, love the colors.

 

[scruggs]

Very nice, love the material!

That is beyond stunning! You know the person that made that point had to show it off a bit.

Sage advice. I've seen great points found by young'uns. A few years later, they have no idea what happened to them.

Tell him congratulations hope he doesn?t get the bug as bad as me everywhere I go My eyes are searching for anything on the ground. I don?t think I?ve ever seen any material like that. Reminds me of the flag of Texas lol with the colors

beginners luck! We have all had our share, he will never find a better but he will find more.

What state? How was it found? Size and thickness ? Sure is pretty material.

it was found in Northeastern Colorado, 1 1/8" x 1/8" thick, approximately just guessing, it's in Idaho now with my grandson. I think it is jasper maybe?

 

[Gene Mean]

Something like that is beyond the banner. Congrats again.

Wow! Tell your grandson to keep that one in a very safe place. Let no one ever take it away to examine it.

Could be a type of mottled Jasper. Looks like it was exposed to heat.
