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.

This is a hand-knapped 3½ inch quartz projectile point discovered in Eastern Pennsylvania. The piece features a broad, triangular blade with a thick, durable profile and visible percussion flaking on both faces. The granular quartz material shows natural inclusions and patina consistent with long-term burial.

The point's robust construction suggests it was intended for practical hunting or utility use, likely as a spear or large knife form rather than a finely notched arrow point. The base is minimally worked, and the overall form reflects the functional toolmaking style common in the Mid-Atlantic region, where quartz was widely used due to local availability.

• Material: Quartz

A solid, honest example of Native American craftsmanship from the Pennsylvania region — ideal for collectors of Northeastern artifacts or prehistoric tools.
