I found this recently when doing a hunt. It is a large flake of quartz that has been struck off and modified to be a scraper or a cutting tool. It still has some of the rind on both ends. It would of been nicer with a tip but I will take them as I find them, rock
Personal find from N GA.

Nice hunt. Saying we going to get a bunch of rain the next two days. (2''-4'' rain) Guess ya'll are to. Hope we don't get the severe weather like some other states have.

I like that quartz tool. Quartz can be very sharp in natural form too. The other day I picked up a piece and just simply threw it back down. A few min later I looked at my finger, dripping blood. It must have cut me while pulling it up and I didn't know that it did.

I posted some side views of the quartz so you can see the curve in it. Its a large flake removed. The edges look modified and not straight.
