This looks more like a flake to me. Hard to tell . Photgraphing white quartz is not an easy thing to accomplish where it shows details.TN formerly CT Visit our store http://stores.arrowheads.com/store.p...m-Trading-Post

When I first looked at this in the first post - I said to myself that it somewhat resembled a triangle and it was definitely quartz but I'm not sure I''d call it a triangle point. After seeing it in Emaner's palm - I'm still not convinced it's a triangle. Hoss may well be right. IMO There's just not enough of it, with each tip missing, to call it a triangle artifact. However, Emaner has it in hand and is in a better position to call it worked - so I'll bow to his call.Pickett/Fentress County, Tn - Any day on this side of the grass is a good day. -Chuck-

Quartz is sometimes very hard to tell. One solution to photographing it right is holding it at an angle in the sunlight so it casts a shadow over the valleys in the flaking like this:
It helps a lot in seeing the detail.
I do believe it at least is a flake. We know there were Native Americans there, so keep looking! You might be surprised with something cool soon!
