It's not very heavy, Its noticeably lighter then other rocks would be at the same size.

No it's hard as a rock, to be exact was found at a beach on Cape Cod, Mass.

I don't think so cause it doesn't have any other colors or stuff in it from ambergris I've seen online.
Lol yeah I saw it and almost didn't pick it up, but I was curious.

We find a lot of coal on the beaches, either washed up from old ships or even bits from beach fires.

Earlier i meant it wasn't charcoal from a fire, but i do believe its either Anthracite Coal or Bituminous Coal.
