Welcome to Tnet Sarahjeanroth1985. It kinda looks like quartz and well rounded like it's been in a stream a while. There are others on here who can help better.

A more-specific ID... speaking as a former rock-hound and (briefly) a Geology major in college, your rock appears to be a very simple form of quartz called Quartzite. The shape of yours is rounded because it spent thousands of years in a fast-flowing river, which during flooding tumbled it over and over against other rocks, slowly battering off any "pointy" edges.

Welcome to TreasureNet's "What Is It?" forum, the best place on the internet to get the correct identification of unknown objects.
