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.
Provenance: "My Dad bought it from someone at the 7 mile fair in
Wisconsin in 1990. That's all We know about it." - B.L. consignment
Date found: 1970s - 1980s

RARE
~ Archaic Indian Stone Axe/Hammer ~
RARE |
Item #: DGAH1
Double-Groove Axe (Hammer) Head
Size: ~ 6 1/8" long
Material: Gray Granite
Age: Probably Late Archaic (5,500 to 2,500 BP)
American Indian Tools:
A very rare
find. Double- grooved axe head! It was extremely
difficult to grind a groove around hard stone - even today with
modern hand tools. Now imagine grinding TWO grooves around the one
stone - for whatever purpose - in good symmetry! This is museum grade.
Nowhere in Hothem's reference books could we find a double-grooved
axe, celt or adze head - and this is a nice big one.
Provenance: Belgrade, Montana - K.H. consignment
Date found: 1960s
Price: $2250 or best offer

Item #: RT2
Lefty Hand Hammer
Size: 5 1/4" long x 2 5/8" wide x 1 1/4" thick
Material: Hematite Hornblende
Age: Probably
Middle Archaic (8,000 to
5,500 BP)
American
Indian Tools:
Extremely rare! This is an amazing feat of Stone Age engineering:
Fits in the left hand as if it were molded by squeezing clay - but
this is hard iron-based hornblende stone! Both ends are flat for pounding. Note
ancient impact chips on the ends. The original "brass knuckles".
Will not stand up on either end without leaning it on a vertical
surface. Great price too!

Archaic Indian Stone
Tool |
Item #:
RT3 Hand File
Size: 2 3/4<" long x 1 13/16<" high
Material: Sandstone conglomerated to Slate
Age: Probably
Middle Archaic (8,000 to
5,500 BP)
American
Indian Tools:
Extremely rare! Because of the fine grain of the sandstone (the
"snails' shell") this artifact may have been an Indian maiden's
personal fingernail file. Most of us modern humans take it for
granted that we have fingernail files - 11,000 years ago this item
would have been a luxury. We have not tried it out for fear of
devaluating its original patina.
Provenance: Fulton Co, Illinois
