Description
Fiber Optic Glass is a wonder of modern communication technology but it also has perfect conchoidal fracture, which makes it a natural material to flintknap. This particular color is getting scarce. The reason is simple. Creating fiber optic glass requires the use of gold in the formula to create this beautiful pink color. Since the price of gold started climbing in recent years, creation of this color has all but stopped due to the cost. It’s an unusual scenario where even a modern made material is becoming rare. This 5″ arrowhead was knapped from the small amount of pink fiber optic I’ve had stashed for a few years now. It’s highly light reflective nature make it a unique marvel of high tech/primitive tech beauty.
