What is this material ?

This point is black with shiny black reflective spots, but when held to a light it is translucent dark green. Has anyone ever seen or know what this is ?

Looks to be coshcotan flint from Ohio. It's found in pa sometimes and I've even found it in maryland. Cool find.

Not familiar with material in your area, but sounds and looks like some cool material. Nice Point!

No, i have 10 - 15 points made of coshoctin flint, usually early arcahic pieces, i am familiar with the upper mercer flints. I;ll try to get another pic that may show the glitter of the spots on this point.
