Top photo is a dead give away.
 Notice the change in the material from were its chipped, only novaculite changes that much with heat. Also notice the little zigzag inclusion top right of the piece, thats very common in novaculite and the little pink specs are also common in novaculite :)

Threw me for a loop there with the Sheath Marc.  I saw the rattles and was thinking boy that sure doesn't look like rattler skin.  Burmese or Rock python skin, right? 

The whole package looks nice though.
