✅ SOLVED translucent pointed stone object

[driftwood1963]

Found this in south central Iowa near Lamoni on a dirt trail.
It is translucent, seems to be stone, and has a "tiger eye" fracture from top to bottom that refracts light shined through it.
The quarter is for size comparison.

Any thoughts as to what this is would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, what you have there is a Belemnite fossil. And a very nice one!
