Recently, I get more questions about Indonesian Coral and the striking and unique arrowheads that can be knapped from high quality material. I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that the supply has dried up. In other words, the deposit of this material that was discovered just a few years ago has been mined out. There is still some on the market but the supply will continue to dwindle and the high grade stuff is vanishing even faster.
The good news is that I have a small reserve of high quality coral that I will continue to work from. Naturaly, I will also continue to scour my resources for any good pieces I can yet acquire. Will any more be found in the future? My source tells me it’s possible but not very likely. Let’s hope that is not the case. There is nothing like Indonesian coral and the wild polyp patterns are a wonder of the natural world and of geology. It is also a wonder for a flintknapper to be able to knap into a beautiful creation, and no one wants more to be discovered than me. Maybe I should go on an exploratory expedition to Indonesia. Hmmmmm.
