Those are some great points.  That white quartz is the only local Knappable stone we have here on LI, it is some tough stuff.  Good job, I'm sure you will get some meat with those.

Good job Billy.   That quartz is some tuff rock.  I have had nothing but problems with it.    I have only made one nice succesful quartz point, while on a deer hunting trip.   I gave it to the man who owned the property where we were hunting.  He was very impressed and very happy.  I've never tried to do another.
