Seems like the dogs like it, so that works for me. Welcome to the forum. Looks like some type of rock crystal.

Welcome from Virginia, I have been called a rock but I don’t know nothing about them except if you catch one with velocity with any part of your body it hurts!

Intrusive igneous rock with quartz. That's my guess. Very cool specimen. Worth? $300.00 to the right interior decorator.

Welcome to the forum. It looks like some sort of Geode to me. They can come in all shapes, sizes, and crystal forms.

Welcome to the forum.
Looks to me like limestone with calcite crystals.
A few drops of vinegar onto the surface that is not crystalized should cause it to foam up.
