Authentic Flint Spearhead, Native American Indigenous, Ohio, 64.2 Grams, CR1874
This is such an interesting relic, I had to offer it. I have collected arrowheads forever, but this is a nice large piece of history and exciting.
It is believed to be either Adena or Hopewell in origin and may be very, very old, but I am not an expert so I cannot guess as to the age of this, only that it is authentic and possibly from the
Woodland Period—3,000–1,400 B.P. (Before Present) (or later).
This period includes the Adena and Hopewell cultures and were the first to make pottery.
In great condition with a somewhat still-sharp point. Care should be taken with it.
A wonderful collector item!
Material: Flint (Chalcedony)
Origin: Ohio
Weight 64.2 grams
Length 151.13 mm
Width. 35.36 mm tapered to end

Chalcedony balances energies of body, mind, spirit, and emotions.
Increases mental stability, enhances generosity, and alleviates hostilities.
Flint Ridge Material
This flint is the best known flint in North America and compares to the best in the world.
Flint Ridge is located just outside of Newark, Ohio.
The finest Flint Ridge flint is called Flint Ridge Chalcedony, and most cultures used this type. Flint Ridge flint is Ohio’s official gemstone!
Spears... are one of the most ancient instruments of war and hunting consisting of a long handle, or shaft, with a sharp spearhead or projectile point.
Native American Indians would use to spears to strike, thrust, slash or to takedown their enemies by effective use of this simple weapon as a missile.
Most Native American spearheads tips were originally made of a hard stone, such as flint, but were later replaced by metal points.
Many of these pointed flint tools were never used on spears, arrows, or atlatls (a type of spear thrower, pronounced ät'-lä-təl).
Depending on their size and thickness, most flint tools were used as hand-held or hafted blades (blades fitted with a handle), scrapers, or knives.

Cultures and Time Periods
The lifestyles and tools of Native Americans evolved over 8,000 to 10,000 years. Archeological evidence tells us how they might have lived and what tools they needed for survival.
Early Paleoindian cultures—14,000–10,500 B.P. (Before Present)
These people, who were of Asian descent, crossed the land bridge into the Alaska-Canada area of North America. They moved in small family groups sometimes following animal herds to obtain meat for food and hides for clothing. They are best known for their fluted points, which are fluted on one or both sides.
Late Paleoindian Plano culture—10,500–9,000 B.P.
Plano were the descendants of the early Paleoindians and lived a less nomadic lifestyle. Their arrowheads changed slightly from the Paleoindian, most notably on the bases, which were no longer fluted.
Archaic—9,000–4,500 B.P.
These cultures lived more settled lifestyles with bigger populations in villages and made many different types of arrowheads. They were the first cultures to make stone tools such as axes, celts, adzes, and gouges.
Woodland—3,000–1,400 B.P.
This culture includes the Adena and Hopewell cultures and was the first to make pottery. They are noted for their mounds, enclosures, and several other types of earthen works. Each group made mainly one type of arrowhead with very few variations.
Fort Ancient—1,000–500 B.P.
These people lived in large communities and raised crops like corn, pumpkins, and squash. They hunted animals with bows and arrows, so their arrowheads were actually used as tips for arrows. All of their flint tools were triangle shaped.
Historic
400 B.P.—Native peoples in the Ohio Valley were ravaged by European-introduced diseases. Iroquois tribes drove out survivors and claimed the region as their territory.
300 B.P.—Many Native American groups moved in from other areas. Some flint was still used, but as the settlers moved in, the groups traded for guns and ammunition.

What are Ubique Botanical Perfumes?
Welcome to Pure Perfume
Ubique is Latin for "everywhere", and refers to Omnipresence, the property of being present everywhere.
u-bi-que [oo-bee-kwe; English] adverb, Latin, "Everywhere".
Ubique Botanical Perfumes contain concentrated botanicals. Plant, flower, wood oils, absolutes, tinctures, and concretes are used and may cause an allergic reaction if you have an allergy to these substances. It is always best to begin your fragrant Ubique journey with a sample before purchasing a larger size, but don't wait too long...these are limited creations and they sell out quickly!
• We do not accept returns on perfumes, personal care items, or sale items. Please purchase and try sample sizes before purchasing larger sizes. Thank you!

Mine Rough Stones and Crystals
Mine rough stones are those we procure directly from a mine instead of a mass dealer. These stones are fresh from the earth and have not been previously sold. We prefer mine rough stones as the vibrational qualities are HIGH.
ALL STONES AND CRYSTALS ARE MINED.
One should not expect perfection when purchasing from ANY dealer unless the stone has been cut and polished and is listed as "perfect".
If perfection is desired, please only purchase cut and polished "perfect" stones.
Mine rough stones may have dents, dings, etc. We photograph each stone and describe what we see. We do not sell that which is not of high vibrational quality and authentic.
