My wife was taking one of our lazy Bulldogs for a short walk by the creek at the farm she works at. She said she saw something gleaming like glass on one of the shoals/banks. She says "sparkling pink". When she picked it up she thought it was a fake because it looked so perfect. When I got home from work she said she had been cleaning it for 3 hours...lol. I told her it was clean enough for me to take pics of it. So here it is....Found in SW MO. Anyone know the type? I have found many but I've never really got into learning the different types. Thanks for looking!!! IMG_20171127_183638[1].webpIMG_20171127_183655[1].webp

The edges in those areas would feel dull when you rub your finger across them. A lot easier to feel grinding than to see it. The purpose of it was to prevent the sharp edges from cutting the lashing when the point was hafted.
It kinda feels different along the bottom, but its so small I can't even get my pinkie in the notch. It definitely feels a (little) smoother along the bottom-most arch.
 

That is a beauty ! Congrats to your wife for having the "eye" to pick that one up.
She said if it hadn't shined like gold in the sun she would have never walked over to it her eyes are so bad...lol
 

That's a beautiful Point. Very nice color to the stone. Wow! Historical Native artwork. Congratulations to your wife.
