This small, but beautiful lithic reproduction of a corner notched lithic point with elegant parallel flaking was made by Virgil Tonn, a rancher from Georgetown, just north of Austin, Texas. The material is Agate from eastern Brazil. Virgil achieves the beautiful flake patterns by grinding down a blank to a perfect configuration and then he flakes it. This grinding technique was perfected by the ancient Egyptians, but not by Native Americans. Virgil positioned the yellow band in the material to a position where it would have the maximum visual effect. Length = 48 mm ; Weight = 2.6 gm
