Yah okay, I got a bit jealous about how fricken cool this thread is ... congrats on some pretty amazing side-collection tibits!! (very cool)

Ummm, I don't have anything "super cool" ... ummm, or even worthy of this thread, but that's never stopped me from posting something awesome, eh?

a) a sweet and useful ancient ceremonial smoking instrument ... yah-yah, okay fine, it isn't that ancient and its ceremonial duties are merely pre-video-game activities (still this soap-stone pipe seems to belong in this cool thread, no?)



b) is my cool stevex6 work-office ... this is a very cool 30-ish year old physical model showing one of our underground orebodies "before" we went and developed it ... amazingly, it looks very similar to the 3D Vulcan-image from our underground drawing software (my-oh-my, how things have changed during the past 30 years, eh?) ... click-on it

 

Love the little Homer all by himself down there!

 

I'd say the big 3 are Moroccan?

 

Most likely.

 

Here's a few more I have. I found all of these in my travels. Wish I could make it to a show sometime. I have a lot of stuff like this, out in my old workshop.

 

Nice

 

This was found a few miles from my house in "arrowhead bottom".


Projectile point in situ. Early to mid-Archaic, 9000-6000 B.P.
Type: Kirk
Period: Early to mid-Archaic, 9000-6000 B.P.
Size: 1.75"
Found in Jessamine county, Kentucky. 2011.

 

Just bought myself an alien!

 

I can remember finding arrowheads near my home in Tennessee as a teenager. not quite this old. Not even sure where they are anymore.

 

Dicranurus monstrosus?

 

It was unidentified, but it is Ceratarges as far as I can tell. It is much smaller and has less spines than dicranurus.

From further research, it appears to be Ceratarges aries.

 

Thats very cool

 

Nice!

Some more of mine.

 

Those are cool

Edit for TIF: I still don't have a guitar pick from Mr. Gilmour of Pink Floyd. If I'm ever given the opportunity, you will get one too.

Added another guitar pick to the collection this weekend. This one is from Damian Darlington (musical director & guitarist for Brit Floyd). Here is a clip where he performs comfortably numb. At 4:20 he really gets into nice Pink Floyd guitar.

If anyone reading this thread can identify these stones, I would appreciate it.
Thanks for your help.

 

The majority look like microcrystalline quartz or commonly know as agate. I don't do much with opaque minerals, the transparent crystals are much prettier, especially when faceted ( cut). One violet and white one could appear as Hackmanite if you picked it up in Afghanistan or Pakistan area, but I assume you got it as a group. If you take more photos for other mineralogists here, place a measure in it. General discussions would be a better place to post it, as ancient coins will miss a lot. jim

 

...well, them look at this...
