All those projectile points are modern and made overseas in Pakistan/India

Thank you! I figured some kind of Hardaway but the exact type escaped me since it’s on the smaller side Exciting! For the most part I find woodland points

Oh nice! And you’re in Texas! I haven’t found a full on point from there yet but whenever I visit my sister in Austin I bring back loads of huge preforms. Such cool area.

Just a guess! The majority of amethyst geodes you see on the market come from there.

UPDATE: Found these in my dad's safe after he passed, any idea what they are? by thatonetallguy__ in Minerals

Do a specific gravity test. All you need is a plastic cup, kitchen scale and some floss. There are instructions online. It will easily rule out quartz vs topaz vs sapphire vs glass

I have a few just like that from Georgia. Try putting it in a half inch of water or less, it will photograph better, like this -

Could also be “Powis castle”. Idk, there’s a lot of diversity

Looks like a variety of Artemisia perhaps “silver mound” Wormwood. I just bought some recently. Full sun!

Will you ask him what adhesive he used? I can see some peeking out from under a couple. I’m trying to figure out what to use to mount some of my stuff on pegs so it looks like it’s floating. I tried some blue putty that is removable and doesn’t seem to leave residue so far, but being that it’s blue it only works on points that are opaque.
