Mysterious brick

[mojjax]

7 1/2 inches long - 3 inches wide - 1 1/2 inches thick . It's not made out of clay ,rock . or pottery , something lighter . It has the letters ' KAAS' on the top . It almost looks like a chunk of 'Hash' at least it has the same color . It weighs almost 2 pounds . Found it in the barn . Any ideas ?

Wonder if it's coated with wax. Might go good with stale crackers.

Could it be a salt lick? Should be easy to test

Could you please put a chunk of hash next to it so we can compare? Or better yet, send them BOTH to me for a better look. Thanks.

I love the lighter side of this forum!
It's definitely an item for ebay! It would go good with the 200-300 year old bottles of wine the blue bloods bid thousands of dollars for only to find it has turned to vinegar.
SELL! SELL! SELL!
PS I'll take a measly 10% for the advice.

I shaved off a little piece , tasted it , it's not salty . I put the piece in a spoon and heated it with my propane torch - I smelled the smoke - not hash - it didn't melt , after 30 seconds it glowed like an ember without igniting . I poked it wth a screwdriver and the glowing ember broke apart into little pieces , all still glowing . Still not sure what the heck it is .

looks like it may be a cleaning stone for stoves/griddles.

Best guess I've heard yet. Could be.

I tried the paper test , it didn't make much of a mark .

how about pressed animal dung - for fuel - I'm hoping thats not it since I tasted it !
