The point in question as the material, does it feel slick when you rub it with your fingers? If it does then it isnt quartz and is probably Chalcedony.

Hey guys- The triangle in question does not feel slick to me. Like the difference between feeling a high-gloss painted surface and a matte surface. Quartzite? And yes- there's chert (various- from blueish grey to cream, to shades of brown, black- plus jasper, I'm assuming from PA. Learned from the E. New Market show yesterday that certain stone was traded from as far away as Ohio...
This is honestly one of my top 2 favorites. One of those miracle 'one more step into that tangle of thorns' finds.

@ yak do you ever take some of your finds to the shows? The people are very nice and like to see local finds. Most can tell you the types you have.

I have, but only one- . It's been hard for me to get to them as my schedule never works (I'm a chef, working all weekend, etc.). However, I went to one a couple days ago, but didn't pull out any stuff- although I brought it. Got too absorbed in everything else- having never been to a show before. Did get a chance to meet RedBeard, though- which was very cool. Had to leave abruptly, unfortunately (pet medical issues)... there will be more shows. And hopefully time too! Yak

Beautiful jaspers points you have in those frame Yak! That jasper Clovis point is a beauty. It looks like it is made from variegated jasper and pretty rare here in PA. Only found in a couple of spots. The brown Jasper with red in it is heat treated. The jasper will turn red when heated. Please show close ups of that piece. Do you know where it was found? The quartz point is polished and the reason it has that look. I had a paleo triangle made the same way.
it is in the center........

I also live a hour north of the Macungie Jasper Quarry. I use to work around there and use to find huge jasper cores when i was landscaping peoples yards. Flakes everywhere!!! Looks like you have a mix of material as well, quartz, jasper, conshocton flint, Onandoga chert, and several points types......Nice frames.....good color!!

Hey Get the Point- do you mean the clovis in another post? I'm not sure I knew I had a jasper (variegated or not) in the triangle frame!
I'll get a close-up of any point you want to see. To be honest, the quartzite(?) point... was not in a high-abrasion area. More muddy (really muddy) and woodsy. Very little sand, per se. I guess I really do need to show it to someone. Let me know what you want to see- and thanks! Yakker

Hey Get the Point- this must be what you were talking about: View attachment 958483 View attachment 958484 View attachment 958485 View attachment 958486 And GTK- what book is that? I need one of those! Thanks for looking- HH Yak
That's it Yakker.....she is a beauty... Is the base and sides ground? If so i'm leaning towards clovis on that one. The base is too concave to be Madison and not enough to be Levanna. Not sure but your answer will help............
