Rare clear quartz tool finds

Unbelievable quartz pieces brought to our attention by Bruce Cox of North Carolina. Bruce says 'A boy, Travis, had found the first piece and  alerted me to the site, where i found the second very similar worked piece'.

These are some amazing pieces, and ceremonial use may enter ones mind as the uses for these very bling tools, on the other hand the second piece appears broken as though used, so maybe the use of the material is more a practical one?. The first piece stands 3 1/8 inches tall, the second 2 inches tall.

American Paleo Tools

These three tool finds by Bruce Cox were found in North Carolina, USA. These were found in close proximity to figure stones, on the same site, in fact quality and density of figure stones led Bruce directly to these amazing paleo finds.

The American Early Paleo period runs from 12,000 to 14,000 bp, being the oldest recognized inhabited period of North America, view's are rapidly changing and many now believe that America was inhabited in an earlier period.

Bruce Cox would like to extend his thanks and gratitude, not only to myself, but too Tim and Dennis Moore of the SDM site, for pointing him the right direction, general helpfulness and for being good friends.
