This Clovis point was made from a piece of heat treated chert from central Texas.  In the upper picture, you can see a vein of white near the tip.  This white vein contains quartz crystals the causes step fractures.  In the lower picture, you can see that a flute has been removed from the tip.  This happened by accident because I used a direct percussion -bipolar technique.  When I flute a point, I hold the tip (blunted) against a soft rock and then I strike the fluting platform at the base.  In this case, the normal basal flute came off along with a tip flute.  Several authentic Clovis points have this feature. Length: 9.5 cm (3.74 in); Width: 3.29 cm (1.30 in); Thickness: 0.73 cm (0.29 in). Length of flutes measured from the basal concavity: 4.84 cm (1.91 in) and 5.67 cm (2.23 in).

 
 

This Clovis point was made from a piece of heat treated novaculite from Magnet Cove, Arkansas.  This piece of novaculite is very pretty with opaque white areas, translucent white areas and pink translucent areas. Length: 13.6 cm (5.35 in); Width: 4.22 cm (1.66 in); Thickness: 1.32 cm (0.52 in).  Length of flutes measured from the basal concavity: 5.25 cm (2.07 in) and 3.42 cm (1.35 in).

 
 
 

This Clovis point was made from a piece of clear gray obsidian from Glass Butte, Oregon with a couple of black streaks in it (you can see these streaks when it is held up to a light).  The side showing in the picture has the shorter flute, and I am showing this side because this is an average flute length. Length: 10.7 cm (4.21 in); Width: 3.43 cm (1.35 in); Thickness: 0.63 cm (0.25 in). Length of flutes measured from the basal concavity: 3.71 cm (1.46 in) and 6.12 cm (2.41 in).
