    Those are beautiful pieces! Thanks for sharing. Just had our first snow in Lafayette, Indiana. I managed to pick these guys up yesterday.

        Lots of nice points everyone has posted. Here's a few crystal quartz thumb scapers I picked up over the years.

                  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.

                    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 not venture to say a scraper.  Think it would be way too small to scrape anything.  It's less than one inch in length.  This is a pic of the other side though.  I was thrilled to find green quartz!

                        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.

                          Pam, Cliff may be right. Flat on the back side beveled on the front. Take a look at those thumb scrapers shartis posted. About the same size.

                              Cliff usually is right...but I don't know enough about artifacts to have called this a scraper.  I wouldn't have said that because I woulda been wrong! :laugh: Actually, I didn't even think about it!  I'll take a another look at shartis's post.  Thanks

                              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.

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