Help identifying possible arrowhead please 😊

[dmbfan17]

Purchased a trunk in an estate auction and this stone was in there with some antique cameras and stamps. Any help on identifying and possible value if any at all would be appreciated!

Nice find and nice material!

The point isn't of much value though I'm afraid.

Are you able to tell me what it is exactly? Material wise I mean . Thanks!

Looks like Quartz a pretty common material

 

[dmbfan17]

I've read quartz is common but points are not due to how hard it is to shape. Is this correct?

Lots of Quartz Points found in areas where that was the most prevelant material readily available.

Yeah- there's guys on here that are sick of finding quartz points !

Don't see it much out west.....
It's a very cool point- if you found it yourself it'd be priceless (IMHO)- otherwise if you don't care about it, maybe $5.

The material that your artifact is made of is impossible to tell for sure due to the quality of the photos. It looks like it could be heat treated chert or quartz.
If it's made of quartz, that doesn't make it rare, quartz was utilized a lot in some areas, but only because there was not a better material to work with at the time and place. Putting something like a coin or a ruler beside an artifact, or stating it's length and width is always helpful when trying to identify a particular type of artifact, and some artifacts are just so vague in their peculiarities that they defy typing.
As others have said, yours has little to no monetary value.

You have a stemmed arrowhead , specificly a contracting stemmed arrowhead , age I’m guessing is middle archaic to early woodland , 1,300 to 7000 years old, remember , I only got a pic to go on, oops , just saw old thread
