Is this a scraper or some other type of tool?

Well it looks natural. Sometimes quartz will break like that when tumbled trough the creeks. Then polished by the water to look smooth. Keep looking, rock

Thanks rock for replying. Actually after googling it for a couple of hours I think it might be a fist axe with a broken point...but then again I could be wrong. In any case I will hang onto it for a while and maybe take it to the museum and see what they think. Thanks again!

Quartz just doent show up very well in photos. I have some that if I posted them you would say rocks also. I try not to post the quartz ones that often unless you can see the work clearly.

Appears to be natural and shows no indication it was worked into that shape for usage.

It looks natural, but who knows it could have been a cutting tool made just for the moment that it was needed.
