Got A Rock you Want Identified? Post it here! gimme a good picture or 3 or 4!

What about the man made hole through the axe head shape? Looks like jadite??? Thanks

I see neither something jadeite like nor something with a man-made hole. If you believe it to be an artifact, ask someone knowledgeable on the subject.
I work with natural stones, not man-made (stone) artifacts; my knowledge on the subject is near zero.
 

Found in Tuolumne Ca. IMG_20180214_085800.jpgIMG_20180214_085711.jpgIMG_20180214_085736.jpg

I found a few rocks in Omaha Nebraska. The one is about 9x6 inches and petty heavy, sorry don't have a scale with me. They seem to have a bunch of gold flakes or what looks to be gold flakes and my earth magnets stick to it but it's not a very strong pull. They are not too difficult to break and looks like there are layers to it. The other one picture is quite large and I've broken it open. Thanks for the help everybody. Here is a link to my Dropbox folder with the pics.
