Hey Man, sorry to hear your bad news, hope it works out good for you and the children. The pictures you posted looks like  Kanawha Flint on the completed point and then the fluted rock looks different. It looks more glassy and I was wondering what kind of rock it is, very black and shinny. Good job on those points.
