Northwestern Four Way Knife. If it wasn’t for the crusted Alkali on this-it would be pretty clear. 1st Time I’ve put a lot of these up—towards the sun. Makes ya wonder if those aboriginal wanderer’s didn’t do the same thing? Bet they did!

This Swirly Grey Banded Point is a ‘Borax Lake’ . Extremely thin. It reminds me of the swirly Glass Marbles’ I played with as a kid! We used to call em ‘Cats Eye’

[tomf]

So pretty.

Can you tell me what distinguishes this point as Borax Lake?

I long to find one someday....
