✅ SOLVED Quartz Base

[wandrews]

Happy Monday Everyone, I surface collected the base shown in the attachment while detecting along a row of recently planted pines. It was so clear that I thought it was a piece of glass at first. The break on the top appears as if it might be relatively recent, so I plan to return and see if the tip is nearby. I am hoping someone on this forum might be able to suggest what type of point it would have been. Thank you.

It has the look of a Paleo era point. Great find. I hope you find the rest of it.

I haven’t looked deeper but off the top of my head I don’t think I’ve ever seen a paleo point made of quartz, otherwise it screams paleo to me, it almost looks like a dalton variety but they didn’t clean up the top of that bell shape in the base. Very interesting find hopefully you find the tip

that quartz is tricky to work with!

I sure don’t have one, but I’ve seen examples of crystal quartz Paleos here in VA. Cool find.
