White crystal like arrow head

[Jdb1994]

Hi all, I’m new to the forum. I found this arrowhead(what I believe to be an arrowhead anyways) today and one similar to it several years ago. Would like to know if anyone knows the the material used and origin/time frame? The smaller one is the one I found before. Thank you, forgot to mention I’m in SW Florida

Nice finds, killer material.

Very nice finds , not sure if you have crystal quartz down there ? That may be material on first point ... both are sweet

How big is that point?

It's a nice one. No clue to type but I agree it's likely quartz.

That material is silicified coral I believe. Gary

Thanks for all the replies. Out of Time- to answer ur question the top pic was the first one I found, which my boys have temporarily misplaced, but it was about 1” wide and 2” long. The newest find is about 2” wide and 2” long at the broken part. It’s much broader and heavier. Arrow86- quartz/crystal is not a common stone down here, at least in sw Florida anyways. I would definitely go with Toddspoint, being more of a coral material, especially given I'm surrounded by saltwater? I will do more research. When I found the first one it was cool, but finding another one has sparked my interest, lol. Is it possible for arrow heads to end up down from other places in the country?

There is no doubt. Points sometimes traveled via nomadic cultures.

Welcome, those are both Florida type points. The 1st one is most likely a Citrus type, archaic to early woodland. The broken point resembles a Culbreath from what is left of it. Basically near the same time period, maybe a little older. Nice material some type of Florida coral or chert. SW Florida was a major NA area the Calusa were dominant when Europeans began settling (illegally imigrating) to Florida.
