VERY Nice!

To bad all of the quartz didn't work as nice as that type apparently did.

I found one like that when I was a kid, never seen another like it. Nice find, definitely one to be proud of

That's probably the nicest quartz point I've ever seen.

nice big quartz point

SWEET ! You don't see much of that high grade quartz turning up. I refer to that material as "milk glass" quartz due to it's pure coloration, and great knapping potential. We have found a few smaller well made points of similar material up here, but none as large as that beauty. HH

I never could figure out why quartz was used since the few that I ever found were thick, stubby, and didn't look very deadly (except one small triangle that was thin and well-formed). I couldn't see how they could have been fitted to a slim arrow shaft. So, I wonder if my "fatties" originally looked like the killer yours is? Did they eventually degrade; or ... were they always thick, stubby, and ugly? Makes me think a sharpened stick would have been a better tool/weapon than quartz. Then I see YOURS! Wow ... that is a beautiful -- and quite obviously dangerous -- point.

Can we get a side photo? I'm wondering how thick/thin that beauty is.

Thanks,

This style point is usually thick 3/8" to 1/2" and this is 7/16"

A very nice looking piece willjo. Quartz always look like a status symbol to me. Good job in finding.
