Quartz Point

Quartz arrowheads were carved from quartz, surprisingly, with this one hailing from Canada, where large quartz deposits can be found. Indigenous cultures like the Cree and Athabaskan peoples used quartz points for hunting long before anyone discovered you could smother fries in cheese curds and gravy and call it dinner. Knapping a quartz arrowhead is a skilled practice, since it flakes unpredictably, much like humans do once they’ve got married and had kids. This quartz point can be placed in your mouth for luck, and if you’re lucky, it won’t slice your mouth clean open.
