Hello,

 

I have collected stone artifacts all my life. I have many arrowhead I have found myself, but I was given one by a friend that I find stunningly beautiful.

This arrowhead is from the "Columbia Plateau Region" of Oregon. It is made from Obsidian.
It is a fairly large and near perfect specimen for this type at just under 3 inches in length, 1.25 inches in width and 0.19 inches thick. The Quilomene Bar is from a period of 1500 to 2500 years ago.

This is the front side (has a slight crown)

The back side is flat relative to the other side.

It is translucent and almost clear right at the edges.

This is certainly one of the most beautiful artifacts in my collection that was created by a true master.
