Nice points!

I have only seen the green obsidian one time, and the guy selling it wanted a pretty penny for it ($10/lb).  Said that the site it came from was no longer accessible and so that was all he would ever be able to get.

I heard the site was still there but no one wanted to go into it. It is supposed to be a 30', hand dug pit with vertical walls with sharp obsidian sticking out everywhere.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Let me know when and where - I will bring the first aid kit and the suture set😂👹 >:D - and strong leather shirt, pants, and gloves.  I heard, read, or saw that the green obsidian was only found in Mexico, somewhere near Yucatan!  Apparently the Aztecs guarded the supply very carefully.  That green would make a great looking atlatl dart point!

Good job on the points and the heat treat.
I tried that, and added more wood to make sure it got hot enough. It got too hot and all the rock just crumbled into tiny pieces.
