Made his tools of destruction orrum.Spearheads,arrowheads,scrapers etc.The poor guys didn't have that stainless steel knife.Trust me,properly chipped coral will cut quik.The sharpest blade in the world is apparently a chip of obsidian and is used by plastic surgeons to minimize scarring.

I heard somewhere that they use/used obsidian scalpels for eye surgery... kinda cool! Carleton

Just a quick note... the coral in the box Jim posted are really PRIMO hand picked pieces. From finding my own coral, and getting a test box of Jim's discards, that there's a whole lot of waste pieces that won't color up (stay white and chalky). The work involved in finding and chipping coral, let alone cooking for color too. It's worth 2-3x what he's asking, because at that size, each piece is practically a preform. So this is a really great deal.
