Got Quartz?

[Louherz]

Howdy All,

I haven't really saw a lot of quartz on the site. Admittedly, it is one of my least favorite point materials. Most of the points that I have found in quartz were pretty crude. I have been fortunate enough to find a few really nice ones. Here are some of my best Quartz points. Want to share your favorite quartz points? The two bottom left are bolen bevels and have a very nice bevel to them.

In my opinion Steve it looks to be quartz. Didn't see any others in the tray though. Beautiful points though.

Larson, Nice points! It's so hard to tell from the pics but the one that jumped out at me is the small one in between the pennies. Can you post a close up of it?

 

[Charl]

Larson, it is hard to tell without close ups, but in your 2nd photo, the point 2 points to the right of your top finger, to the right of the point on a coin, looks like quartz, and I think I see a small triangle on the right side of the frame that looks like quartz, but again, just a guess. The point you singled out looks like quartz to me.

 

[Pancake]

Yep, that's the same one I was talking about. Hadn't noticed it was in two of the pics.

Funny you should ask.

That's about all I'm finding here in CT. These are my best 3 so far.

Y'all have probably seen these before but what the heck

 

[GTK96]

Oh and there's plenty of quartzite in Southern Virginia too...

hey hey louis
this is a nice thread
i am learning about quartz and never realized that i had a piece

i am gonna a post the piece that pancake asked for

i don't think it is quartz but it is an unusual shape...most likely just an odd shaped arrow point

Hunting in North Carolina I have a bunch of Quartz points. I'll post one made from Smokey Quartz.

 

[bsit1361]

That's my favorite quartz. Picked up a flake is smokey light blue quartz today.

Personal finds from Va.

And a few more recent quartz and quartzite finds, a Savannah River, preform, and 11 blade cache I found last year.

Nice looking Quartz, Ryan. Good to hear from you again. Thanks for the view of some nice V.A. points.

Some more V.A Quartz.

Here's some quartz pieces I acquired while putting together my States Collection. They are mostly from the east coast and southeastern states, but there are two Triangles from Wisconsin, the Bifurcate in the 7th pic is from New Mexico, and the Corner Notch in the 19th pic is from Georgia.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

This is the only quartz piece I have ever personally found in southern Ohio and it's a really nice Hafted Scraper.

 

[bsit1361]

37 those are some beautiful points!

Wisconsin sugar quartz

Hello,
Most of the points in two frames are sugar quartz otherwise known as Hixton silicifies sandstone. The material was quarried at Silver Mound more than likely. It is also the home of an increasing number of frac sand mines. The quartz is this sand that has been cemented together over the eons I suppose.

Thanks for looking,
