Thin rock or artifact?

[JohnDee1]

Sorry for responding to my earlier post, I got occupied for a while and thought not to post on a dead post. Thanks for the replies there l, but I need help. Is this just some neat quartz or is it something? Thanks! .

A little hard to tell from the pictures, but at first glance it looks like the tip off of a point.

I like it. May be point.

Can you send more photos? Each side? It Will help to identify. It could be, but looks like a flake as well.

Thank you guys for the replies. Though I am not entirely sure of the rock’s nature, I appreciate the expertise. Thank y’all!

I’m far from an expert. I’m leaning more towards a nice flake. Hate to ask for more photos but I bet more could help to be sure. The edges would be the best indicator. Do you see any worked edges at all? Hold it up to a light and see if you can find that typical flaking along the edges.

I tried to take more pictures, but the focus is quite bad. I tried to look for any signs of worked marks, and only saw a faint serration on the thinnest side. Perhaps there may have been light scarring on the surface, and minuscule flaking on the bottom. I agree with you it is probably a very nice natural piece of quartz, but I still might keep it. Thank you for taking the time to reply. Thanks!

A flake is still technically something! It was knocked off while a Native American was manufacturing an artifact.
