GP148	A most attractive and sturdy red, orange, yellow and white carnelian	Recovered from the	200.00

GP150	A very attractive fiery red, orange and white semi-translucent carnelian	Recovered from the	125.00
	agate Rose Springs Stemmed Arrowhead which is well flaked on both	Columbia River in WA
	faces by an intermediate knapper. With the exceptions of a nick to the	during the 1890's

Item:	Type: Rose Springs Side Notched	Provenance:	Price
GP151	A gorgeous translucent orange and clear carnelian agate Rose Springs	Recovered from the	120.00
	Side Notched arrowhead which is flaked on both faces by a novice	Columbia River in WA
	knapper with side A well flaked, although in a cursory fashion and side	during the 1890's
	B mostly pressure flaked only around the periphery. The asymmetrical
	form, especially to the barbs as well as to the side edges of the base
	appear to be attributed to the inexperience of the knapper, rather than
	to damage. Quite an attractive piece made from a rare material

Item:	Type: Talco	Provenance:	Price
RPGP4	A very delicate, paper-thin mottled red and purple chert	Recovered from	250.00
	Talco Arrowhead form. Obviously created by a master	Gregg Co., TX
	knapper, this is a one-of-a-kind, rare offering!
	Period/Age: Mississippian to Historic - 500-800 B.P.	Ex: Greg Perino

Item:	Type: Cascade Knife, Gem quality	Provenance:	Price
JAFW39	An absolutely gorgeous, expertly made semi-translucent, horizontally	Recovered from	1200.00
	banded obsidian Cascade knife form in perfect condition. Obviously made	Lake Co., OR
	by an extremely advanced knapper, this one displays very systematic,
	thorough and detailed flaking patterns coupled with a very symmetrical
	form. One of the best, for type, that we've seen in a long time.	Stermer COA	dlfw

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
CHGP1	A (mostly) paper-thin mottled brown, red and gray petrified wood Unclassified Corner-	Found in	250.00
	notched Arrowhead created by a master knapper. Petrified wood is one of the most difficult	Polk Co., TX
	materials to knap, not only because of the hardness of the host material, but also because of	(Offered by the
	the unpredictability of the layered sections with petrified wood. The creator of this beauty	original finder)
	managed to thoroughly flake both faces, with especially intricate and detailed patterns
	around the edges, leaving shallow serrated edgework. The base was anciently snapped,
	most likely as part of the normal manufacturing process and it's single flaw is a "dip" in the
	center of the face on side B, caused by a rougher layer in the host stone, and leaving a
	noticeable horizontal "step" at the centerline of this piece. (indicated by the red arrow in the
	4th photo above.) Still one of the best petrified wood pieces we've ever seen! It dates to the
	late Archaic-Woodland eras between 2,000 and 3,500 years old, by artifact association
	from the same site. (It resembles the Catahoula type, but is from a much earlier time period)

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
JAGP4	An outstanding, paper-thin reddish-mahogany obsidian Eastgate	Recovered from	150.00
	Arrowhead thoroughly flaked on both faces with the exception of	Lake Co., OR
	a small 15% flat section remaining on side B around the hafting
	area, left from the original host flake's surface. (photo 5) It shows
	very minute edge serrations and the bottom edge of the base is
	"irregular", but it's "all there" as it was made.

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
DAGP764	An extremely colorful, perfect orange, burgundy	Recovered on the	200.00
	and red agate Rabbit Island Arrowhead, very well	Columbia River, OR
	flaked on both faces but having a vertical flat spot
	in the center of side B from the outer layers of the
	host stone's surface. Just a breath-taking piece!

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
JCGP26	A fairly sturdy, semi-translucent diagonally banded duo-flow obsidian deadly	Pershing Co., NV	120.00
	Humboldt Triangular dart point having nicely serrated edges. It's thoroughly
	flaked on both faces by an advanced knapper and the flaking patterns are
	only slightly subdued from nice desert polish. This one snuck into the Gem
	Point category before our final 3-point inspection revealed that it has a single
	professionally restored ear tip, so it's priced accordingly.

A Note On Stockton Points

In this release we have another short run of Stockton points. Stockton points are rare, and are, for the most part isolated to a narrow "band" extending eastward from Contra Costa County to the Stockton area, and slightly southward into San Joaquin County in Northwestern California, and these are seldom offered for sale anywhere!

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
MHGP1340	A jet black obsidian corner notched Stockton	Recovered in	650.00
	arrowhead. Flaking is fairly thorough to both	Contra Costa Co., CA
	faces but not very remarkable. It has a small nick
	to one corner of the base. Still a very rare piece.

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
MHGP1341	A heavily alkali-encrusted black obsidian Stockton	Recovered in	450.00
	dart point having some pretty wicked serrations. The	Contra Costa Co., CA
	base is a bit irregular and it has a small nick to one
	serration. (3rd one down on the right side in photo 4)
	A very scarce item!

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
DFGP1	A very yummy translucent moonstone agate Spedis dart	Found near	150.00
	point showing various layers from the original hoststone. A	Priest Rapids, WA
	nice little piece showing good flaking patterns but having a
	single small vertically oriented "dig" mark just above the
	base on side B (The brown area shown in the middle of the
	white layer on the base in photo 4) This one doesn't display
	any basal grinding, but is a very nice gempoint

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
MHGP1281	A most attractive translucent white agate Desert	Undocumented but most	120.00
	Delta arrowhead thoroughly flaked on both faces	likely from the Columbia
	by a most advanced knapper, with the exception	River in Washington
	of a 15% section containing crystal inclusions on
	side B in the center around and above the hafting
	area (photo 4) A true gem amongst gems	Ex: Michael Hough

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
MHGP1284	A fairly large (for type) opaque black obsidian Elko Corner	Crump Lake, OR	140.00
	notched dart point. It's well flaked on both faces by an
	experienced knapper, although the host stone did have some
	stubborn areas leaving a couple of slight steps on side B	Ex: Michael Hough

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
JCGP6	A multi-colored, white, pink, light gray and	Recovered in	120.00
	burgundy agate Eastgate arrowhead. It's fairly	Humboldt Co., NV
	well flaked on both faces but only by a novice
	knapper. The ears are asymmetrical, as made

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
JCGP8	A very colorful orange, red and white chert & agate	Recovered in	70.00
	Rose Springs Stemmed dart point fairly well flaked on	Churchill Co., NV
	both faces to a median ridge by a novice knapper. It
	has a "hooked" appearance to it's tip, which I thought
	was a nick, but upon microscopic examination, it
	appears that this is just the way it was made

Item:	Type:	Provenance:	Price
DAGP677	A semi-tranlucent multi-colored (red, orange	Recovered in	60.00
	and white) agate Rose Springs Corner-	The Dalles, OR
	notched arrowhead. It is well flaked on both
	faces by an upper-intermediate knapper but it
	has a snapped base and nicks to both barbs
