I've found chips of it and seen many points made out of the stuff, it just feels harder and has different flake scars on it than rhyolite to me

I don't have any quite as red as yours but I've seen examples of it.
Some is much more glass like and silicate rich.
I could be wrong but personally I'm leaning towards it based on your location and the photo

I agree, I'm just gonna call it neat and give it a spot in a frame
