That's a nice point. If your too proud to haft it up , make a necklace & wear it proudly. Tower.

that obsidian sure is purty stuff!
-
I've a beautiful arrowhead of grey sheen obsidian, amazing irridescence as it moves in direct sunlight! I can only imagine this gold sheen!!! Awesome.
-
where did you get the gold sheen?? only stuff I have seen came from glass buttes in oregon.
-
I just arrived in Murfreesboro, Tn. Where can i find some knappable material around here and what would it be
-
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

Cool lookin point man!!
-
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!

you right about the pics Josh, you almost need a video to show off the fx of this stuff, 250#, a piece the size of my palm was five bucks, you sitting on a gold mine, Bub
-
Ya the rock shops charge a bit more, I sold a 25 pound rock of the gold sheen for 20 dollars pluss shipping the other day :D Then you get the guy who sells a 2 pound rock for 30 bucks :-\ I dont get it lol

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.
