Creek bed find off the Potomac River

If found this in a creek, not sure what exactly it is or the age.. looks like it's made out of red or pink quartz

I would call it an artifact. Probably a paleo hand ax or preform.

Hard to say. Not found with other artifacts, but my first thought is that it is a worked stone. Can’t guess on an age, but I’d keep it.

Looks like it was tested then discarded. That would be one mean rock to chip. Gary

Looks promising....

Maybe a relic, I dont see much secondary flaking on it. The last image show very smooth.

I'd say it has the right look. I would hang on to it until you can have it positively identified.

Looks like a "worked" rock!
