Quartz Points

[CreekSide]

I enjoy finding quartz to but I keep them separate from the chert. I had purchased these 2 frames and planned on flipping them at another show but then decided to keep them. They are fancy custom frames but with the black background the quartz shows up good. Most of the quartz points I find are made from vein quartz so they aren’t the best made but still always a great find. Some are better made than others. But this is all I have found over the years. Here you go scruggs and hopefully you can share some of your points. One frame is smaller than the other.
NW Georgia mostly creek finds.

Nice finds and cool frames.

Awesome frames, I probably don't want to know how much they cost.

Cool idea. Nicer than the standard square ones

Nice frames!

Nice frames, I can see why you decided to hang on to them.

I wonder if anyone has made a custom frame where the points are set in, with an open space behind each one.
Have lighting in the back to show the transparency of the points off?
In my mind it would look pretty cool.

The frames are worth more than the points in them if you are talking about $ value

They sell them on eBay but theirs are a little different

Nice frames!

I’d like to see some of your finds

I’ve seen some coffee table displays that are lighted. I have 3 tables that are displaying points. It wouldn’t be hard to install a light through the wicker bottom

You have some nice ones. I have several but being the material it is they are always kinda rough but true to form.
This one is my best it is a Morrow mountain. The flaking is beautiful but hard to capture in a pic.
Merry Christmas!

Nice points! quartz looks good on most colors in my opinion.

The smaller frame has the best ones in it. I guess I should move the 2 daltons to it. But in the frames there are 2 copena, 2 daltons, some Guilfords, Morrow Mountains, and some Woodland assortment. I believe the one big triangle shaped is a Guilford. Glad you all like them. Seeing I find dark colored chert they wouldn’t look good with a black background.

I forgot Savannah Rivers and one heartbreak Cobbs Blade.

The quartz does pop nicely, I thought some looked like they could be older. On the plains the older groups gravitated towards higher quality material and would grab it as they moved around, I wouldn’t expect to see a lot of old quartz. Do you find the same amount of old quartz points as flint ones down there?

About 1 quartz to 10 chert. It would be more quartz if they weren’t always broken.
