EXTREMELY RARE ~ Medicine Man Crystal Axe ~

Item #: CQ-1
Size: ~ 3 13/16" high x 2 7/8" wide x 1 3/4" inches in depth
Material: Crystal Quartz
Age: Probably Late Archaic (5,500 to 2,500 BP)
American Indian Tools: A very rare find: "An interesting artifact for sure. It appears to be from the Late Archaic to Early Woodland Period. Most likely it is a ceremonial axe made for a chieftain or medicine man because crystal cannot take impact like conventional hardstone axes. Because crystal has the tendency to shatter and splinter when being worked, this was a dangerous tool to manufacture - even today - without eye protection. Crystal doesn't age fast like that of flint either. That is to say, crystal usually has shallow, tight fractures that are not hinged like flint so accumulates less dirt in the cracks. On close examination I am able to see that this crystal does have accumulated dirt deep in its fractures and that is impossible to fake on just one side of the artifact. I would have to say this artifact is authentic and of museum quality." S.M.H.
