~ Pretty in Pink ~ Translucent ~ Newnan Spear ~
Length: 2 1/2"
Grade: 9
Description: Made from heat treated Chalcedony with a very colorful surface patina including Salmon Pink, creamy white and even some light purple colors. A skilled knapper created this beauty! Very thin, complete and whole. This point has been rebased in ancient times. A common way the natives repurposed damaged points. When long spear points broke they simply made a smaller Dart Point from the tip. The base was snapped, indicating that this point was once the tip of a much larger spear.
Provenance: Found on private property with permission in Hillsborough Co. Florida.
