I agree that is truly a beautiful little piece of work. The color of it is amazing. What kind of material is that?

I think the lithic that is in question is simply called greenstone. That is what we have always called it.

Didn't. Look like Savannah river greenstone that I have seen. Unless there is another on the east coast. the green stone I know is a hard stone like granite. it doesn't flake and isn't knapable. it is ground and polished for making things like..Celts, bannerstones,gorgets..ect.

Got me stumped now. Internet has about 5 different stones listed as greenstone. Some are dang near black some like this



Some polished like this bit



And other greenstone like my old axe



Are they the same stone? Don't seem to be. Homework for this evening!! I love it!!

Yup

I think that this material is called green chert. It is abundant in my area, as greenstone is. Sorry for the confusion.
