I found this stone today near a small steam in the smoky hill river region of Kansas. It's extremely heavy and has a slight magnetic pull. It seemed very out of place amongst the seemingly stoneless stretches of farmland. Any ideas or answers to what this is or may be will be appreciated!

I found this while digging a creek bed in Central Kansas Today. There is no way it is obsidian or flint by its color and transparency but I'm not too sure what forms the cubical fracture patterns. When I first discovered these pieces it was a single pane of cubical glass like dark gray stone. it...

I live in minnesota. I was digging a hole to plant a tree in some relatively sandy and clay mixed soil. The shovel created a sort of cross section in the side of the hole when I noticed this rock about 2 feet down from the surface with a rust colored streak in the sand, verticly above it that...

Hey everyone! I'm new to this site but I think it's very fascinating. I'm hoping that some of you more experienced treasure hunters might be able to help me with this. I've found a small number of arrowheads and pottery shards in Arizona but a while back I found this stone. The grooves are in...

I have looked in my rock and minerals book to see what it is and there are a few choices. Some pieces have small holes in them also. There is a much larger piece that is part of a stone wall in my backyard. The rocks can chip but they are rather hard. There is a nickel in the one photo for size...

While looking for arrowheads on a lake side in Alabama, my daughter found a muddy, odd shaped, "rock". after cleaning it with lake water, it reveled itself as this small cross. It appears to be hand carved due to the non-perfect patterns. It weighs about the same as dried clay. The back of the...

Hello fellow Hunters, Attached are the pictures of the find of my friend. This stone easily cuts a glass in half and is not affected if submerged in acid or in any chemical brought here by a geologist from the city. The latter said it may be an unrefined diamond and told my friend to bring...

Anyone have any idea what this is? Found on the beach in Santa Cruz. Size is 8" x almost 3" x almost 2". It looks like something was attached to it at the top and broke off or something. Or did the stone form around it? Maybe a rail road spike? Made of stone. No identifying marks on it...
