  • More black stuff

    Productive morning in the vineyards.

    Mostly brokes, but a couple of nice things.

    Hopefully, you'll agree.

    Knives and scrapers, I think.

    Also a couple of Moon Tears (also known as Lake County Diamond) which is a clear obsidian. I believe it's possible that one has a worked tip.

    Close ups to follow...

          This old biface is a cool find as it's not obsidian. Maybe dacite? I'd love some help figuring it out.... Click image for larger version

            Lastly this fragment of a saw blade. It's nicely done.

                  Well, Ive done a little more reading on this material, and though I found conflicting info -including that they are a type of obsidian or real diamonds (of a type) - I think, in fact, they are a type of quartz crystal, so I've taught you nothing except not to trust people what people say.

                  Also, read that the name of Moon Tear is based on Pomo legend and these little stones where place on indian burials to ward off evil.

                    The good news on the crystal is NA people collected them just like we do. If you found them in the site area they should be put in with your frame of artifacts
