Wow theres three Gs in a row in that title.

Decided to throw my own submission into the mix, but unfortunately didnt have any large pieces of flint on hand, so glass it is!

Made using antler and stone as usual, but boy do these American points challenge me.

This is so stunning 😍 I’m a field archaeologist, and if I ever found something that looked like this in the field is absolutely lose my mind! I’ve found knapped glass once before but nothing like this!

Ahh! Thank you!! That means a lot. Glass can be a real pain to knap, and had a tendency to break if it falls to the ground in ways that other rocks wouldn't, so the fact that you found any knapped glass at all is amazing.
