The middle piece is the basal part of an Arrowhead with the tip broken off. The other two pieces look like natural stones to me.
 

Hey thanks for your input..The middle one is definately a broken point
I thought i seen something similar to the long skinny soapstone in a Native American book at Barnes and Noble..


Blaze...
 

personally I believe the middle is a point, the left is possibly a hoe used to dig, they didnt farm yet. and the right looks like a river tumbled triangular rock
 

I agree with grim.

I sont see any polish or use wear indicating use as a hoe on the long skinny piece.
 

This thread is over 7 years old. Not that opinions can't still be offered. Regarding the skinny piece, no scale for size, but the suggestion was that it might be steatite. It does look like it might be, but I don't think we can know if it is for sure just on these photos alone. The color isn't wrong for some RI steatite....
