Only 1 today. Help with material

[bsit1361]

Found this little guy walking a creek in Baltimore county not to far from the city line. Gotta love those rain days off work. Have a feeling I couldve found a bit more but I couldnt move all those leaves by hand. Once the water goes up again ill head back down to look at the cleaned off gravel bars. This point is made from a material I havent seen at my northern sites. Im used to chert quartz and rhyolite. This is a beige whitish stone with what looks like little crystals or inclusions in it. Creek stained on the other side. Anybody know what kind of rock this is? Thanks

[bsit1361]

Kinda looks like the material americus allways finds

 

[WV sifter]

Wierd how you can go to a stream 20 miles from where you usually hunt and the material and style changes. The few points I have found in this stream have been more well made for the most part.
