- Item: HS188 *NEW* TOM DAVIS COA - G-10
- Description: Un-Finished Gneiss Banner Stone - This is an Extremely nice example of the manufacturing process of these Banner Stones. It is made of Gneiss, which is a metamorphic rock, and is almost completely shaped. The Pre-historic man had started drilling from one end using the "reed drilling" method which was done with a fire-hardened piece of Cane cut of just above the knuckle of one segment. In many cases this hollow segment of Cane would have been filled with sand which fed out and created an abrasive to help in cutting through the stone. The bottom of the drilled hole on this Banner Stone has the distinctive "nipple" which is a result of the "Reed Drilling" process. (see photos). This fine Banner Stone was found in Northern Kentucky along the Ohio River by Chris Crecilius. It comes with a Tom Davis COA grading it a G-10. From our personal collection. Monty & Jewdy Pennington

- Description: Limonite Boat Stone - This Very Nice Limonite Boat Stone is out of the
S.D. Dickinson collection of Prescott, Arkansas. It is labeled with Dickinson's # B-10. This item is listed in the Dickinson catalog as "Boatstone from Smith Graham Place, Black Bayou, Nevada County, Arkansas". It was then in the Scott Davidson Collection of Batesville, Ark. Limonite, which is "Brown Hematite" will break down from the inside in certain soils. This one has started the "scaling" that is commonly seen in Limonite pieces. (see photos). This is an EXCELLENT piece to study because of the great examples of "pecking" and "grinding" evident on it. Boat stones are rare enough and I have only seen two others of Limonite. Ex- S.D. Dickinson Collection, Ex- Scott Davidson Collection, Ex- Monty R. Pennington
