      Quartz is hard to make points from. It doesn't flake like chert/flint and makes crude points. Tribes traded good stone among each other. I've found crude points of quartz in NE AL and figured they weren't getting along with tribes with good quality stone. It doesn't flake right and extremely hard to work. This is a typical example. I think all of mine were found just on the border between Creeks & Cherokees.
