Arrowheads... 3 separate points
The origin of all these points are unknown to me. These all appear to me to be authentic due to small chips and fractures that appear very old, but I am not an expert, so these are all being sold as “origin unknown” and I can not vouch for the authenticity of any of these points.
Two of the points came from a flea market located in Corning, Arkansas and the brown colored point was traded to me.
Below is a brief description and my honest opinion on their authenticity, but I stress again that I am not an expert.
#1) The white point with the black veins in it, on the left, was a flea market find. I would call it an Adena point. The Adena's are a fairly common find in this area, but I have never seen this type of material come from this area. The stone has many hairline fractures that have great patina and mineralization that has formed in the fractures and in the small chips. It was common for the Native Americans to trade stones for other goods, so I personally feel that this one has a high probability of being an authentic relic.
#2) The little bird point in the center was a flea market find and is a nice point. Bird points are fairly common to this area and the material appears to be chert which is common to this area. It has several small chips and fractures and shows mineralization on most of the small fractures and chips. I feel that this one has a high probability of being an authentic relic.
#3) The brown point on the right was traded to me. I saw the fellow that I made the trade with several times walking the same fields that I was walking. I would consider it to be an Adena point. The material appears to be chert and it show mineralization throughout the stone. It has excellent weathering and almost all the fractures and chips appear to be old defects, even the larger chips on the side of the point appear to be old defects. I feel that this point has a high probability of being an authentic relic.
