An Indiana point, Spencer or Warrick County, Ohio river find made of a very good grade of Hornstone, 2&1/8" by 13/16"--as is classic for the point type, thin, only 1/4". The sides of the stem have light grinding, but not much on the basal edge (corners only)--these Late Hopewell points can often show grinding, one of the few Hopewell point cluster types that do (like Steuben points). The sharpening technique left the piece with a very slight blade twist--as a dart point that might have helped with flight. One source I've read said these Lowe Points may have been the Hopewell peoples' first true arrowheads--seems a little large for an arrowhead when you think of the small triangles the Mississippians used, but an archer might have a different 'take' on it--you try to consider all the possibilities for how a piece was used. Every detail is guaranteed real--only damage I've spotted is what looks like a tiny flake off a quarter inch below the tip--that may be a handling ding from before I go the piece in my collection--a close up will show that tiny chip. Shipping is $8.00, checks or M.O. s are how I take payments. Sorry, I do not use paypal-type services--Roy A.
