not sure on material but highly translucent red meterial. it also has been in a fire. get a pic later when we have some sun.

google carnelian. It was used for arrowheads but in modern times it is used to make jewelry. I have found one carnelian arrowhead in New Mexico. Most flintknappers cook/heat treat their rock unless of course it is a glass type rock like obsidian.

nice color

Such a shame that it's missing that basal ear. Sure is a beauty, love that material!

I don't see any fluting but I think I can see the "nipple" that would create the flute.....
