This lithic point blank is made out of Catlinite.
It was sold by the Department of Interior shop in Washington
to benefit Native Americans who owned the land in Minnesota
where the stone is found. The mineral is named after the
famous painter George Caitlin. The blank has a small hole
drilled in the base, perhaps to make a pendant after it is
finished. Length = 101 mm ; Weight = 12 gm
