Not sure what this was used for. It came from Southern Appalachian Cherokee area. It is about 6 inches long and weighs almost a pound. I was thinking it might have been used for plowing/ gardening. I haven't been able to find a picture of anything like it anywhere. Does anyone else know what it might have been used for?

It looks like a naturally water eroded stone. The grooves are where softer material eroded faster than the rest. It probably lived in a stream for a few thousand years.

Interesting rock...believe I would have picked that one up as well. I'm certainly no expert, but I don't see any indication of the stone being worked by man. Cool, certainly, but I don't believe it's a native artifact.
