Authentic Native American Arrowhead Artifact from the Collection of Lottie Shipley, Owner of the World Famous Rock Shop, Shipley's Mineral House, Gem Village, Colorado. This 1 3/4" Indian made arrowhead is in good original condition. This is an authentic Native American artifact that I have owned for about 35 years. It came from Lottie Shipley's personal collection of rocks, minerals and interesting things that I purchased from her after she had closed down her shop in Gem Village. This arrowhead measures 1 3/4" high & 3/4" at its widest. It measures 9mm. at its thickest. I will not attempt to identify the type or the location where it was found as Lottie was an enthusiastic rockhound who traveled a lot.
