Whetstone2994

Grindstone.* Fide donor GTE: Part of a coarse-grained silicious grind stone for smoothing and sharpening stone chisels, adzes, etc. It is very conclusively established that jade and other fine grained celts were worked down and sharpened upon these stones, which are found about old living and camping sites together with the sandstone saws and partly cut boulders, and an examination of jade and other celts shows almost invariably a corresponding convex side and cutting surface. These grindstones from their brittleness are seldom found in large slabs, but more in broken sections which are often smoothed on both flattened faces and sometimes along the edges. *Information is from the original accession ledger.
