Back on our family vacations to Colorado we used to stop by this incredible Indian jewelery store called Charles Eagle Ploom south of Estes Park and near my grandmother's house. It was stuffed to the gills with silver and had an astounding collection of historic items. The guy was an Indian historian and even ran a philanthropy. He became a good friend of my grandmother and gave her a lot of traditional Indian jewelery which the family has unfortunately lost...
Charles was pretty old by then and we'd sit at his side by the fire as he told stories of the old west. At the end, he'd give every kid an arrowhead.
Little did I know they were all fakes
Everything else in the store was real though. I don't remember much about Charles, but the store is still open...just a lot different.
I think that thing in your hand is a broken bit of clam shell
