I found this a few days ago. It's one of the prettiest points I have found. I'm told it is Knox chert and it's the first of that material for me.

They are cool. I think I have found just one good one myself in a lot of years. Everyone I ever take finds one though! I like the name.

Where does your Knox flint outcrop? I've never heard of that one. Gary

Knox flint formation in the Holston River drainage area. Knox chert is comprised of many sub groups.

I don't believe there is any Knox chert anywhere close to me. I think it's from a few hundred miles away but not entirely sure. I found this point in Northern Virginia.

I find that the most complete small points are so artistically made in my collection.
