That'll really be sharp if'n ya can get it polished up, I'd of brung it home too and probably dropped in my 12 lb tumbler to clean and polish, as looks like all the rough edges are off so should be pretty quick turn around

I will talk to a guy that has a tumbler and rock saw etc. See what he has to say.

A geology teacher dream piece of banded sedimentary stone showing probably 100s of thousands of years of varied accumulated sediment deposit that has then been compacted into hard rock. From ancient lake bed or river plain that has broken and been worn by glacial action(at least by water). Doesn't look fine enough banding to be mineral build up that makes agate or geode. Would also make very interesting wind chime if sliced across the layers into segments(but that would be a lot of sawing depending on how hard it is.

I know a guy that would buy that , hes a big artifact dealer i see at alot of shows , just use a angle grinder than a good sandblasting job using river sand and make a object that fits your hand and the newbys eat it up works alot of shows in Ky , IN, Southeren OH and Mo. guy makes a fortune.

Cool find

So, if I understand you right. They make objects from rock. Could you post a picture of what you are describing as an object that are created from a rock. If it isn't too much bother, Thank You very much.

There is a guy at a flea market we set up at that buys cheap fossils & stone furnace glass to use in his aquariums. He & others like him would probably love that too

I dont have pics ,but just goggle Faking native American hardstone artifacts and you will learn alot. Your rock is a perfect example of the looked for material if its hard stone and not soft stone like sandstone.

A lot of banner stones are made of and faked out of similar material. I always thought a funny name for a knapping business would be "Ancient Native American Artifacts, In About An Hour".

Gotcha, see what you are talking about now. Thanks.

These were all found on more of a Plateau far from the bottom.

WOW! Beautiful!!! That is interesting where you found them far from any water source. Thanks for sharing your finds.

Native Americans picked up interesting and beautiful rocks too. There is almost always a higher concentration of neat rocks at ancient camp sites then in the surrounding country side.

Yes that is true.
