Could it be Jadeite? Looks like it

The type looks like a Levanna to me.

Nice point. It looks like a levanna point. My guess is quartz which is usually light gray and white but Ive seen it with red, pink, blue, yellow and green hues. Quartz was a major tool making material used by the indians along the Conn. river.

Coxsackie chert. From eastern New York. A variety of Normanskill chert.

That is one nice Levanna point. Any chance the material could be some kind of chalcedony?

The hunters who live in your area probably know best what it is but I just found out recently that there is such a thing as "green obsidian"! Who knew? (well, that would be me who didn't know but, still...)

That is a nice point, looking at you photo of the field I noticed there is a slight rise in the field about the middle of the photo is that where the artifacts are found ?

No I found it just about where I took the pic this field is planted with potatoes so I'm just doing the edges for now.
