I have looked at the lithics posts here but haven't seen this type of material posted anywhere. The strange thing is this stuff is almost always associated with any campsite we found. It might not have been valued that highly as we find it in larger pieces than the more valued chalcedony type of material.

Hi Realistone, I'm guessing it some sort of Quartzite material, that is what it looks like to me. Some Knappers have a hard time working Quartzite. Yet I watched one fellow knapp it with ease. Very nice looking points made from it. Thanks for showing some eye catching points. KimKnowledge is about how and where to find more Knowledge. Snyder County Pa.

Thanks Guys for correcting me. I looked closer at the enlarged Picture. You are right It does look cherty. We have a brown quartzite here and I didn't look close enough! I stand corrected. KimKnowledge is about how and where to find more Knowledge. Snyder County Pa.
