Yesterday, while my wife Ellen was cleaning her horse corral, she found this stone. It is obsidian, like a piece of black glass, which is clearly evident when held up to the light. I've examined it under magnification and it is undoubtedly a napped stone. This stone appears to be the middle section of a small spear point, or perhaps a scraping tool. I'm leaning toward a hunting point because both long edges of the stone have been napped. I will definitely be looking to find the missing sections of this stone. This is a pretty exciting find from our backyard. Below is a view of the other side of the stone.
