These are made from Narbona Pass Chert - also known as "Paleo Pink". The stone comes from Narbona Pass in Northern New Mexico. It shows up down here in Southern New Mexico - usually on paleo sites and is also found in Colorado.
The little Clovis point I purchased and was found in Colorado. The other pieces are personal finds. The narrow scraper was found on a Clovis site and the broken base - which might be the base to a Cody knife - was found on a site where Clovis, Folsom, and Cody artifacts have been found. I start paying attention when flakes of this stone appear - it is usually a good indication of Paleo activity in the area.
