Yah, but what if you're allergic to nuts, like I am? (Referring to larson1951's funny photo of the peanut butter cache.)

The 15 photos of the endscrapers, point, sidescrapers, thumbscraper are great, Steve. Really nice pieces. Beautiful stone. I can't figure out which one is Rainy Butte . . . don't know what I'm looking for.

How about some translucent Jasper.

Ward, thought you might like to see these. A big chunk of jasper we collected years ago in NE Rhode Island, and also the only glacial beach pebble/small cobble of RI jasper we've found, on Narragansett Bay. If there were a lot of it, I'd give you a shout to collect some, but there isn't much at all found on our beaches. I just learned it is very easy to find jasper pebbles/cobbles at beaches at Cape May, NJ.

Steve, hope you don't mind, couple photos of points made of jasper, personal finds. The veins in the last one are chalcedony, I'm told. Love the pretty little point you found.

It does indeed. Sure would make a body's teeth pretty darn brittle.

Beautiful artifact's eveeybody.

 

[larson1951]

i had no idea that jasper is found almost everywhere
seems like the orange kind of color is the most common

 

[GatorBoy]

Unless I'm mistaken... Jasper is just chert that gets its color from iron oxide... or apparently several other minerals since so many colors are being called Jasper.

According to Wikipedia This is a rare Jasper point.

 

[larson1951]

[GatorBoy]

Exquisite!! Just awesome material and workmanship.

 

[natch.]

you could sell a lot of cabs of that
its awesome
if only you could find the quarry for it and buy up the land.
