Hi, I am in Halifax County, NC. I have 4 pieces that I have been told are made of blue shale. It's a very smooth rock that seems like it would much more brittle when compared to the more common quartz tools/points. Has anyone else found anything else made of this material? You rarely see shale listed as a material used by natives.

It also looks like the Argillite we find in RI and Ma., which is actually argillaceous slate. And North Carolina has a slate belt. We used to have a member from down that way who found slate points that looked exactly like our argillite. Here’s a piece of RI Argillite, with a white “worm trail”, as they’re called. FWIW.....
