I'll need help identifying this strange find

I went looking at houses with my older brother for a few hours this morning, he needs to move soon. I found this cool rock, well, I think it's a rock at one of the places in a rock pile.

It's about twice the size of a mans fist, green in color like a coke bottle and has quartz going through it. It looks to me like it's glass but doesn't feel quite the same for some reason. I thought for a minute the quartz was salt but I don't think it is.

What ever this is it's natural, nobody made it. I've never seen anything like this so any help would be great. Maybe I should get Kirsten Gumm to look at it? (I hope I spelt her name right)

Thank you!

The white stuff looks like strands of lard but nice find anyway.

Re: I'll need help identifying this strange find

I believe that is from a coke factory that burned to the ground. I collect marbles and remembern seeing a sphere that a guy was trying to sell made by the same stuff and there was a certificate with it that said which factory it was from and about the fire and that there was only 100 of the spheres made. I didn't buy it because it had a peice missing and I wasn't going to spend that much money for a broken peice of glass. I also didn't know if the story was true but I suppose it is something you could find out on the net.

I found this on the net. This is as close as I could come, still nothing with anything inside of it.

I'll keep looking.
