Here's a couple I just finished.  The big one is Dover chert and the rough one is Rhyolite. These are made in one the several different styles you find them in.
Be thankfull for all you have, because no matter how bad you think it is...it can always be worse.

@Maddog - Nice point - buck rogersish or not - I would have to say that your material however is nice clear obsidian and not micah. Mica is REALLY thin layers packed together and would not carry a flake and would crumble under pressure flaking. there are two types I am aware of, Mica which was used as windows in early ovens and Biotite micah which is darker in color and is a primary ingredient in Granite (roundish dark crystaline structures). Yosemite has lots of granite - unfortunately it is no good for arrowheads.
