First thought was stromatolite, but after thinking awhile I think I was wrong!

What hardness does it have? Looks related to quartz, maybe metamorphic in origin. Not sure though.

Well I am sure it is a good stone as in hardness. But it is smooth on the skin not rough as in crystals. It is a NA preform so they always used sturdy stones. I have found a small piece of this before in this field but didnt study it till I found this bigger one. I have lived here for 6 yrs and havent found a big piece or seen this before. It almost looks like something from the saltwater. Thanks for the ideas, rock

I'm stumped on that one as well.. again could be a lighting issue or just my view point. As I've said befor.. Often I can get viberations (if you belive it or not) from stones that help me determine what they are. Thou first glance.. a dince form of ocean jasper?..

Well I am far away from the ocean but that is the first thing that came to mind when I found it. Looks to be some type of coral to me. The NA Indians did trade and it isnt impossible. The creek is plenty deep enough to use a canoe in and it then runs into a river that goes all the way to Ohio. The Spanish came up that river looking for gold. So I guess it goes south to the ocean from me. If you find out I will be happy to hear. Thanks, rock

Hum nice suggestion.. and description.. sort of coral looking.. I've had one of those once.. can't recall what I did with it.. it was slab cut and gifted to me.. I figured it wasn't interesting looking.. and I think I gifted it to someone else.

I found it interesting cause I havent found but a chip of it and this piece. And only in this spot I am able to hunt rite now.

 

[Eu_citzen]

I suppose silicified coral is possible.

I think Harry has solved this one. He called it Spherulites and I had to write that one down. TY for your time. If you believe it is something else let me know. I wonder what it would look like after being in a tumbler.

 

[Eu_citzen]

Spherulites occur (to my knowledge) in volcanic rock. This does not look volcanic to me.
