LOL there are millions out there undiscovered. Keep looking and be patient. I started with a guide when I was a kid and he was the best! It still took me two years to find a perfect point.

It does look like a slightly beat-up thumb scraper, but it may take in-hand inspection to verify that. With crystaline material it is hard to see flaking in pics.

I've been thinking, and reading back over the comments on this green quartz. I think I didn't show enough of the piece to give you guys a clear view of it. It just looks like a little pyramid shaped bobble of quartz. It isn't flat on any side...it has several sides. I became excited when a scraper was mentioned and my hopes were up. Anyway, I think my hopes will be shattered when you see the rest of the pictures.

I never added this stuff to the Quartz pages. This link will show a Chalcedony Squibnocket Triangle point from CT. Chalcedony is a cryptocrystalline quartz. It can come in any color under the rainbow. In Connecticut I have found mostly gray I have several points in the gray color. I have a few small specimens of a red colored material. I found the red in strata with Archaic points but the material was just too small and thick to make into anything.

Very nice, Hoss. Very small, huh? So I may have a green quartz thumb scraper? That's too cool!

Looks like it could be a scraper. Thumbnail scrapers were named for the size and shape of a thumbnail Pam they can be very small. Check this one out thta is my pinky tip in the picture. This one was usded as a scraper, a spoke shave and a graver. One of my smallest scrapers and my smallest multitool for sure.

After looking at all these cool quartz pieces I went to a place 25 miles from my home today. It was worth it cause I knew there would be some quartz pieces there. I found some scrapers and 1 whole point. The rest most of them base point pieces. I did find 1 item shaped but not flaked of red quartz and I am not sure what it is. I uploaded it to my profile pics.

Is that green piece a scraper, possibly damaged? It looks like flaking from the lower edge- what does the other side look like? Cool color!

I would love to find a nice point made from that green quartz. Lots of quartz around here but I hadn't seen any green yet that I recall.
