I found this baby today and after I got it home I realized it was different from my Onondaga Chert points. Any ideas what I've got here? These are the ways it's different: it's not smooth and glassy, more rough textured to the touch, it's a very uniform light gray and seems, well, dry, for lack of a better word, and most unusually, when viewed with my LED magnifying glass, there are tiny sparkles all over it like a light dusting of glitter.

IMO, Normanskill stuff -- Coxsackie & similar varieties. From further east.

FWIW
