Point ID out of my wheelhouse- lend an eye-

[EdHartzel]

Hello all! While I’m a somewhat regular contributor to the metal detecting forums here, I know little of Native artifacts and have a problem. As a young child I collected rocks. Any and all that caught my eye. By age 10 my interest turned to skateboards and music which left quite a few boxes and crates FULL of stuff to be forgotten in my mother’s barn. Beginning the cleanout process I found myself staring with interest at quite a few of my long forgotten specimens. (30-35 years) In one box I found this quartz point. The only obviously Native artifacts I’ve ever found were from Southern Texas and of flint where the napping is easily identifiable. I must admit I do not know enough about quartz to tell if this is a genuine artifact- or a trinket from a gift shop I put in my collection. I am perplexed in that there are zero visible toolmarks that I am aware of. This would have been recovered in the south east Pennsylvania area... or Central Vermont. A couple books on point and tool identification are inbound to me as I write this... but the suspense is killing me- anyone care to help out with a more informed point of view? Thanks for taking the time!

Sure looks like a arrowpoint to me. Someone will figure out the type.

I’d bet it came from PA and the type looks to be a Levanna

Agree

looks like a very nice point and I see no reason to think it’s not old and authentic.

Authentic IMO.

I'd go with Levanna.

I agree as well. That's a really nice Levanna Point.

Thank you guys for the input! -Now I’m kicking myself for not remembering where I picked it up as a 10 year old! Haaaha! I’m looking forward to getting these books and replacing my ignorance with some knowledge. However... I’m sure my wife will be less than thrilled that I’m taking up another “stare at the ground” pass time! Thanks again!
