A lot of my finds were brought in from other areas. No quartz crystal on the beach and I have no idea where this one is originated from:

Looks like a broken arrowhead. That or it may just be a flake, but it looks like it was intentionally worked into a point.
 
And if there is no other quartz around, a Native American probably dropped it there.

Definitely worked/used. I think it was used as an arrowhead, but quartz is sharp and could have been used as a knife, or even a scraper.
