Authentic Thebes point recovered in Randolph County, Indiana. This piece measures 2-5/8\" in length and is made from highly collectible Indiana Green Chert — a rare material known for its distinctive green tones and striped banding, both visible in this example.
The point features a classic Thebes base that is heavily ground and displays multiple iron-rich mineral deposits across the surface. The workmanship is consistent with known examples from the Early Archaic period. Light ancient use damage is present on both ears and the tip, but the overall form remains intact.
There is no modern restoration or alteration. This piece is a strong candidate for professional restoration or can be appreciated as-is for its authentic age, patina, and material.
