thank's guy's, tower it just has a little hump at the base on the other side i couldn't remove, it'll find a good home, JW the shop has some gold and silver sheen, the owner hadn't knapped any and wasn't shure if it would still shimmer, juniper i got it at my local rock shop, it was in the slab ben and it was a little more spendy than mook, Bub

Very nice looking point I have about 250 pounds of gold sheen and pictures just dont do it justice! Depending on how the sheen runs through the rock and how you break or slab it you can get some really awsome looking stuff! Nice work!

Whew!

That's some Purty Rock!

You might could just show that to a deer and load him up in the cooler... :)

Yeah, just turn it back and forth in the sun and while the buck is ooohing and aaahing over the sheen you knock 'em in the head with a stump.  No holes in the hide that way.
