A Southeast Sugar Quartz Scraper is a prehistoric Native American stone tool, specifically a scraper made from "sugar quartz" — a colloquial term for certain silicified sandstones or orthoquartzites that have a sugary, granular texture due to their quartz grain structure and weathering appearance.

This material was commonly used in regions like the southeastern and midwestern United States (e.g., parts of Missouri, Wisconsin, Mississippi, and nearby areas) where high-quality chert or flint was scarce. Local peoples relied on available resources like silicified sandstone, often called "sugar quartz" by collectors and archaeologists today, for crafting tools.
