Raw Kaolin Hardin

A raw high grade piece of Kaolin I made into a Hardin. All stone and bone. Edges and notches were punched with antler.

Thanks guys!

Zuma...Kaolin comes from Southern Illinois. A lot of the artifacts the Cahokia culture made were made from Kaolin. It comes in a ton of different colors and grades and all will heat treat into glass, but I don't usually heat the real high grade stuff like this. It knaps great raw and Hardin's weren't made from heated stone anyway.

 Great looking and that material is interesting.  Whereabouts can that be found in S IL?

Your right I do have a piece of it. All the things I've lost I miss my mind the most.
When it gets down in the 80's I'll have to dig it up. Thanx again
