MAYAN STEMMED It has a nice yellowish-green color patina that may have been caused by organic materials. A large percentage of stemmed macro blades need edge trimming after the blade is struck from the core to form a pointed end. But some examples, like this one, didn't need any edge shaping or trimming at all. It removed perfectly from the core in a way that left the edges intact and naturally sharp. This stemmed macro blade is made of Colha chert and measures 11 7/8 inches (30.2 cm) long and 2 3/8 inches (6 cm) wide.
