I have to say that Catlenite (Pipestone) is a favorite lithic. This lithic was prised by the ancients because it was easily worked by grinding and drilling. This stone was so prized that it traveled long distances from the sourse in Minnesota.

You know what Ron, just across the river is a boatload of that stuff. I need to go looking for some.

Just moved this into the Best of the Best Threads. I think with a little work we should work on getting this into the Info Center.

I have no idea what the lithic is, it was found in Central Mass. and I've never seen this material on any other local site.

"unknown chert from central New York" looks like Munsungen (from northern Maine but found sometimes as far south as Pennsylvania).I keep six honest serving-men (they taught me all I knew); Their names are What and Why and When and How and Where and Who.Comment

I found this chunk of material last summer on a job site. With some research i figured out its from the Knox Chert dolomite. Its very unusual and I don't believe ive seen an artifact made from it, although it knapps fairly well. I managed to knock off a couple of flakes to work but never really was able to do anything great with them...

Beautiful material. Does it fracture easily and uncontrollably? Looks like it.

I didn't really have the right tool with we when I cracked the rock open to have a look Greg. Just a chunk of sandstone. This portion was actually fairly predictable but I figure this stone is probably degraded somewhat because it was a little brittle if that makes sense. There was many other nodules of Knox Chert Dolomite, mostly dark Grey, but it was all so fractured and brittle that one strike rendered a cobble into a pile of chunks. Most people just think of Knox as the typical shiny black Chert but it ranges from light greys with white all the way through Black and can be banded, the cortex is usually tan, brown and with the best stuff almost white...

I don't even know where to start . Hats off to flint. These are the most amazing photos .Hoss you need to go public with this thread and let the world see these . You could make a hard cover book and it would sell like crazy ... just saying
I personally don't know any collector that would not want this for a coffee table / reference book . This would give any off the books out there a run for the money . Wow .... wow
I know what I am doing over coffee tomorrow . Thanks to all the real pieces each of you collected .

Hey Jason, I just got back from my road trip. Yes they are very nice ancient beads. They are biconically drilled with the drill holes meeting in the center. I have 40.
