Title: Georgetown points.
Post by: Parnell on March 06, 2015, 09:08:35 am

Picked up my first Georgetown at the Silver River event.  This stuff will let even someone like me make it look like I know what I'm doing.  These are my first two flakes that were cortex pieces and they gave me two keepers.  Can't wait to see what I can get from the core.

Makes me wish I had some of that George Town!  Really like the bigger point for its cross section and the smaller one for looking like it belongs on a shaft!  Joe

Thanks Joe!  Yeah, I think you are right, that arrowhead needs to be used.

Those are real nice...

I just got a bucket of Georgetown and Rootbeer....what fantastic rock it is. That stuff can spoil a person. Only rock I like as well is Keokuk, at least for my limited experience. May be better out there.

Great job! And what nice material! I want some Georgetown.  But that stuff will lighten up on you and those points will be more of a grey color soon.

From what I've been told it's strictly quarried material so it would be unlikely to find it lying around.  But, could you visit the quarry?  Dunno...
