Alwayslooking..respectfully, a member can not ID a stone
when the image is fuzzy, and the color is completely yellowed
probably due to taking the image under a fluorescent lamp. How
could anyone possibly make an accurate identification?

Couple suggestions to solve the problem: Take the pictures outdoor,
and under natural light. Don't get too close unless your phone camera
has a Macro setting. It is much easier to crop an image and have a
sharp pic of the item than to try and sharpen an already blurry pic.

Also, there is an adjustable setting on your LMQ720 phone for the image size. I believe
yours is set to a larger setting, making for very large file sizes and huge images. Images
would post better (correct side up) if you reset that to something along the lines of 1000x800
(or thereabouts). Images would still be plenty big for internet use without any degrading
of the image, and they would load and post much faster.

Here is your image..I did some color correction, sharpening, and reduced
it from 3.16MG down to 750k.

I'm not a rock collector, but as Smokey says it looks to be a nice
looking stone.

I agree that the rock looks to be quartz. It's yellow in color due to ferric impurities.

It doesn't look like any fossil to me. It was likely shaped by processes of natural weathering.

How many people does it take to lift it?

Some idea of size can be helpful with IDs as well.
