I recently sold an Obsidian Knife to a guy, this knife had a great deal of mineralization on one side of it. He called me and basically of misrepresenting the knife. He kept telling me that it wasn't obsidian and that it had been painted, he wouldn't listen to my thoughts on it. I told him that if an artifact lays on the ground long enough in the right circumstances that it can at times develop a great deal of calsification and mineralization on just one side.
I have seen this several times and he kept saying that he has never seen this or even heard of this in over 25 years of collecting. I tried to be nice and kept my tone down. He told me that it is my mistake, I just calmly told him to send it back and I would refund all of his money.
My question is: Is there somewhere that I could find info on this in order to show him that it really does happen?
I had one of the editor's to Overstreet's book look at and he was the one that did the write-up for my listing. It is really too bad that the guy didn't want this knife, because it was an X-Carrol Howe artifact. I just don't want a bad feedback for something that is totally legitiment.
Thank you
