BIRDSTONES These six exceptionally nice examples birdstones where photographed in a private collection. All but one have the knobbed or "pop" eyes that add so much to there impressive style. All of them are made of various types of hard stones. The two examples at lower right are made of porphyry. The one at top left appears to be made of quartz. The largest example in this picture, at center right side, was found Chittenden County, Vermont and it measures 4 1/2 inches (11.4 cm) long. The popeyed birdstone at lower right was found in Hancock, County, Ohio.
