I'm new to this forum so for my first post I would like to share my best personal find in over 30 years of surface collecting.
I found this Clovis on June 14th of this year and I'm still flying high off this one!! Enjoy the pics and thanks for looking.

It would be cool to see some really well done, backlit pics of that gem.

Well here is the best I could come up with on backlit, not very good but will have to do for now.

Here's a shot of the edgework, this old Mastadon Hunter was a bit of a perfectionist.

Thanks again for all your comments, I'll keep looking and maybe find a litter mate.
 

Unbelievable!!! Love the striations and color of the stone. Thanks for sharing
that work of art.

Post a pic of yours sometime Dollar, I see your avatar with the insitu but I can't get that picture any bigger to see it.
Looks like a river or creek find ? I found mine on a construction site, they had removed about 3 foot of dirt, got 5 inches
of rain the next day and it was just lying there screaming for me to pick it up !! Which I had no problem with ;D

Here's a cross section shot and I'm done posting pics of this one, thanks for looking everyone.

What's the material? I can't make it out. It almost looks like some types of Sonora that I've seen, but then again .... I've seen Harrison County Chert age that way also. :icon_scratch: Is it Novaculite?

It's Banded Jefferson City Chert. Most people from this area call it Mozarkite which is not entirely wrong. Mozarkite and Banded Jeff City come off the same formation of Cotter Dolomite.
 

Wow!....What a find!....That indeed is a find of a lifetime....maybe several....Congrats...that's incredible!

My wife is from the Show-me state....Jeff City.....again, that find is awesome!

Thanks Aiborne, keep looking, when you least expect it there it will be! Don't pass up any bare ground, even in the city limits.

Thanks Dirt Digger, you should bring your wife home in August, we have a good show near Jeff City mid August.
