What did I find?

[muddyrover]

Found this laying in a crack of bedrock in a stream I was fishing yesterday. Not radioactive… I checked. Central NY.

 

[clodhopper]

That would be a rock.

 

[muddyrover]

I figured that much…. We don’t have much other than plain flat rocks around here.

 

[Filthy McChevy]

Kryptonite

 

[Animalmother]

Space peanut

 

[Rttoys]

It is a petrified crustacean from the Paleolithic era.

 

[IUsedtoBendCars]

Leverite

 

[M92PV4U]

Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints.

 

[JohnnyJ]

It's your lucky meteor!

 

[uhoh]

Only logical answer.

 

[muddyrover]

Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints.

It’s probably from someone’s house that got washed away in hurricane Irene, actually.

When I picked it up I thought it was going to be part of a smashed blue toilet from the 1960’s…..

Or a lucky meteor.

The rough side is kind of odd.

 

[ThePanzerFuhrer]

Does a magnet stick to it?

 

[Captain Call]

Looks like metal melted from a structural fire or something. When they demoed they threw everything in a creek and you found the remnants.

 

[muddyrover]

Does a magnet stick to it?

No, metal detector doesn’t react to it either. I was thinking rough blue jade, but I’m about 3000 miles away from any of that and really that is just a guess. Never saw any of that personally. Pretty sure it’s a rock…. Possibly melted glass.

 

[muddyrover]

I checked it with Geiger counter, because my first impression was trinitite.

 

[billdacat]

You might just have this.... I found a chunk of it in Utah or Arizona. It is kicking around the yard somewhere.

Lapis Lazuli​

With symbolism thousands of years old and bold royal blue hues, lapis lazuli is one of the most popular blue gemstones. It is one of the traditional birthstones for December. While somewhat prone to scratching, lapis is tough and, due to its abundance and low cost, can be easily replaced if damaged. While most of the world prefers a solid, even blue color, some American connoisseurs prefer a smattering of pyrite inclusions, which appear in the dark blue stone like stars in the night sky.

 

[KungFooMASTA]

Kind of looks like a mastadon tooth. We used to find them in a sandpit at the ranch i grew up on.

 

[dwygrsshpr]

Fulgurite popped into my head due to the "melty" look of of it - it looks fused.

 

[muddyrover]

 

[Curbkrawler]

 

[Vancharger]

Looks like some kind of gemstone, I know of something similar at my place here in Norway. Still caught between some other rocks, and a bit more purple in color.

 

[707offroad]

Its Volcanic Dicfur

 

[muddyrover]

I"m thinking it's blue calcite

 

[Pt_Ranger_v8]

gonarhea (sp)

 

[Island rules]

ocean picture stone is the only thing i know that looks similar

 

[Steve300xcw]

looks like a leaver-rite

 

[Penetrode Offroad]

boeing bomb

 

[Riles]

 

[Notstock]

Amazonite

Ok, so now that we've established no one here has any idea...

Find your local rockhound(s) and have them take a look.
