Thats a Good looking point! The material looks to be a Quartzite, but the type from around your area I have no clue.
Thanks for sharing, maybe someone else will have more info.

Johnson? Novaculite?
One of the lithics I wish was native to my area.

In my honest opinion it looks like Novaculite. It has been described as microcrystaline quartz. I am no geologist That is an awesome point your friend found. Chase yes but a very high grade quartzite brother.

  yeah I remember this one. It don't look like novaculite  to me either. I just refer to it as sugar stone, sugar quartz or quartzite. Thanks

The patina is so heavy that I can't tell about the original color. It does look a little grainy and it looks worn as if it has spent a lot of time in a creek.
