Tried something new
« on: November 16, 2015, 06:45:28 pm »
I found a really great scallorn point a while back. The camp where I found it is washing into a small creek.  I have found numerous arrow points scallorn, Perdiz & Sabinal. Most are serrated & many have been made from an agitated wood found locally.  This stone is amazing clear, milky white, red, brown, purple mixed & translucent.   I've been picking up every piece I can find.  Most are small, but every now and then I find one about the size of my hand.   
I picked up a small piece from the camp & decided to copy the scallorn I had found.  The 1st pic is it in situ. Then the stone & finally the points.

Man, that is a cool looking point and I really like the material. I'd swear it was coral if not for the straight lines in it.

It's not glass It's wood . I have some with knot holes in it. There are natural caliche hills around 3 Rivers TX. The wood is about 3' down from the surface.  I'd swear I have some that are opalized. I'll post some pics of the raw stone tomorrow

Nothing wrong with the one you made, but the one you found is absolutely killer.
Must be a good camp to scavenge thru.

Very nicely done. Some people just have an eye for finding points. My friend Alan and I can be out looking and he'll find ten before I can spot the first one.

Thank y'all for the compliments. I wish I could send every knapper a ton of it.  Patrick knapped a piece at the Classic. I have about 200 lbs saved up so far.  Bob, some of the lower grade wants to follow the old grain.  The hi grade has no grain. 
Here are a few pics of what I found last week.
