F minus for me!!!!!!
The blade I recently listed as AVATAR III was previously sold and waiting for the buyer to select the type of handle. The buyer didn't want to purchase it again.
I'm embarrassed and apologize for this errant listing....guess I'm practicing to be older.
Thirty plus years past I was gifted an unusual obsidian rock. It traveled with me from my home to the next. Recently I asked Mr. Carney to work it up....flawless! He asked, "Where is this from?" I did not know, so I went on the search, asking many of the west coast knappers and also In-the-Know Rock Folks if they knew of this material and it's origin.
I asked Jim Miller, who is pretty much the rock Guru guy, who has touched and collected most every conchoidal cleaving type of material....he had not seen or known of it.
At this point I'm getting a bit excited!
I eventually contacted Craig Ratzat of http://neolithics.com and asked if he knew what this material might be. He said it sounded like a rare obsidian from Northern Nevada. He knows his passion.....said it was rare and as far as he knew, only small surface finds had been found, decades ago. I emailed him a photo and he confirmed it to be the material he was referring to.....he then stated that the source had not been found, although many attempts had been made.
So now I'm elated to have something so rare.
I have named it AVATAR....
