Hello all! Thank you for taking time to read my thread.
I live in North Central Washington. I found this artifact on my property's driveway about 2 weeks ago. It's unlike anything I've seen before in this area. I've had one heck of a time trying to figure out what the tool is. So far the only thing I've been able to peg is that it is possibly Ellensburg Blue. Looking at it under the microscope, the entire shape has been tooled, even around the spud on the side and you can see the yellow deposits left in the tiny pits of the stone like you see on raw chunks of blue agate. Any hints or ideas would be appreciated!
Thank you so much!

EDIT: Sorry, just realized I should of put this in the "What is it?" section. Bad on my part for not doing more research before posting.

EDIT 2.O: Added a couple of photos that I cleaned up to hopefully better show the marks around the spud and on the piece itself.
