  • Agate Camus Valley gem points

    These were found in Elko Co Nevada. In a reference book I found a point that are very similar to these. Are these points indeed Camus Valley Agate points? These three are translucent.

    Those pictured are obsidian not agate.

      I'm actually skeptical about those being authentic. They have a greenish tint around the edges, meaning they could be made from green obsidian. Someone else chime in here. Unless I'm wrong, green obsidian is a very rare color phase and doesn't exist in the obsidian outcrops in NA. Most of it comes from Mexico. I could be wrong, but someone has to get in here and correct me if I'm wrong.

        IMHO The flaking doesn't look right.

          I have an authentic Great Basin Elko corner notch, the obsidian has a clear opacity in the thinner portions. No brackish tint.

            Obsidian in the great Basin comes in a lot of color variations . But those 3 points were made by the same person what's the chance of that ?
