08-308 "Long" Hopewell knife made
from raw, honey colored, translucent Flint River Georgia chert. I
have had the preform that made this point for several year. Like so
many, it had to wait its turn, and what a nice point it made. It
literally glows when held up to a strong light! Length, 4 7/8 inches. Price, $60.

08-269 Small Hopewell Point made of Knife River chalcedony from North Dakota. The Hopewell of Illinois and Ohio imported this exotic material and some very large spear pints were made from it. As the story goes, a swamp was buried, turned into lignite, then "silicified," turning it into chalcedony. This formation was later eroded out and the chalcedony is now found as cobbles in the resulting gravel. When this point is held up to the light, it is a beautiful translucent, honey color with white flicks showing. These specks are pieces of fossilized cattail leaves from the old swamp! Length, 2 11/16 inches. Price, $20. |
