Flintknapping is the art of creating stone tools by chipping, flaking, and pressuring stone (using bone or antler to do so) until the desired result is achieved. These are modern points created by a fantastic knapper, name of Travis Smolinski. I purchased them several years ago. The top point is mahogany obsidian, the middle one (my fave) is jasper and the bottom piece is Montana Agate. Wouldn't they look pretty wrapped? Check out his website for his beautiful creations.

The bottom one looks a lot like Banjo's Fossil Agate.

I was looking for something like that for at the agate show but they are quite expensive. I think they'd look great wrapped.

Cool website Susan. My favorite is on the "eccentrics" page, the one that looks like a bird. That looks way too precise for me. How does he do that? Thanx for the link.
