Yup, gorgeous!

Good chance that the material was heat-treated before knapping?

Very pretty. I have seen some made from quartz found around here, but I have not been lucky enough to find one myself.

Yes, all were heat-treated. The Middle-Archaic Indians in the Tampa area were the masters of heat-treating.

There are definitely coral points in Georgia. At least in South Georgia. I find a lot of flaked pieces of agatized coral while I'm looking for arrowheads here. (:
