Arrowheads weren’t just tools—they were often traded like money. Tribes valued them for their usefulness and skillful craftsmanship, making them a form of early currency in Native American trade long before coins came along.

Pair of authentic Native American quartz projectile points found in southeastern Pennsylvania. Quartz was a common material used in the Mid-Atlantic, especially for small notched and triangular points. Both show classic aging, mineral sparkle, and the uneven flaking typical of true quartz knapping. Great small study set or display pair.

Likely Early Woodland to Late Woodland (500 BC – 1200 AD)

Quartz points are typical of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland coastal/schist regions

Left piece: stemmed or contracting-stem quartz point

Right piece: small triangular point with subtle side notching

Both appear genuine surface finds, not modern replicas

Quartz points are harder to knap → always slightly chunky, irregular, and highly collectable regionally.
