nice milky white hixton sugar quartz Paleo hand axe (chopper) seller (details to buyer)
which is completely intact, as made thousands of years ago. It
has a large section of the original striking platform at the butt  
end, and shearing technology was utilized to create a finger rest
area to side B as well as a thumb rest to side A. An outstanding
item having a very serious cutting edge created by percussion
flaking, mostly to side A, coupled with an opposing sheared
edge on side B, and showing beautiful mineralization to both
faces. I can see where this beauty could accomplish it's tasks,
such as splitting animal bones for the marrow, quite effectively

This one shows a fair amount of beveling from
ancient re-sharpenings. Unfortunately it was 
broken and glued about 3/4" above the hafting

pieces join, I would judge the break to be an
unfortunate modern mishap
