I have had so many emails regarding the last "Study Piece" I put on the site that I am putting up another one. This Relic is fine. It is 1/2 of a notched Ovate Bannerstone from Indiana or Ohio. The Bannerstone is made of Greenish Gray and Black Slate. I acquired this Relic from Ben Thompson, the originating author of WHO's WHO. I had been sold so many fakes that Tom Davis suggested I go over and try to buy all of Ben's study pieces and he had a whole pile of them which I now own and YES I study them on a regular basis. Enjoy. Also, I know it is not worth anywhere near $900 today, but it is to me.
