I wonder if quartz was used often for making points? The points I have seen usually are of flint or obsidian.

Very cool find! Up in Clear Lake, California where the Lake County Diamonds ( amorphous quartz crystals) come from, a few of those quartz points come to light every now and then. I used to dig on a ranch up there and a the ranch caretaker found one one day when we were digging....Mel
