Creamtangerine 0 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I was just curios on what type of rock this was. I found it while hiking in the Tillamook Oregon area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Red_desert 145 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Oh Me gosh! I have a Native American flint artifact, which I believe is 100% identical to the one in the center pic. I'll see if can get you a quick pic of it here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Red_desert 145 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) Some might say this flint looks natural... but it was found along with a large flint spear point and many different styles of flint scrapers, all out of the same color flint. The curved edge which appears a little curly, is actually sharp as a knife, you can cut yourself with it. Edited November 19, 2019 by Red_desert Quote Link to post Share on other sites

d_day 359 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Most likely quartz. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It does not look like calcite but we would be remiss in our duties if we did not request that the OP do some sort of bizarre test. I think it is quartz because of the crystal angles. I'm 99% sure. But we might have her spin around fast three times and drop it in a bucket of battery acid just to make sure it's not calcite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigrex 60 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 From the photos, I would guess quartz, if it's softer, then maybe calcite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
