Stone Arrowhead
Stone Arrowhead
Which rock, obsidian or gabbro, would make a better arrowhead? Why?
Stone Arrowheads are made by chipping smooth, curved pieces from a rock to form a sharply pointed triangle with razor-sharp edges. Which rock, obsidian or gabbro, would make a better arrowhead? Why?
Why do I always seem to see or find arrowheads made of something that isn't obsidian? (I don't know what it is...maybe it's gabbro)
I think obsidian. I know nothing about gabbro other than it's volcanic, but I do know that obsidian is a kind of volcanic glass that can be split into incredibly sharp shards- there's a special name for it, which I can't recall at the moment. Because of its ability to hold an edge, it was used extensively by the ancient Central- and South-American peoples to make weapons like the macahuitl- a big wooden club with shards of sharp obsidian hammered into either side.
