I'm not the best at material ID but this piece looks like agate.

Yes, Chalcedony agate. I've found about a dozen points made from it so far.

Thanks, yeah, about 60-70% of points I find are obsidian.

Dang! That thin slicer would have been crushed. Elko, What a stunner! What is the material?

Side note: I did not know that cows could survive in Nevada.

Nevada is 63% public lands, and of that about 95% has range cattle and wild horses and burros. A point on the surface hardly stands a chance.
