Gastrolith?

[Tesorodeoro]

Found this just below a camp area while I was blowing leaves. It’s out of place for this area.

I really can’t see any signs of obvious wear. It does have a dimple on one side (which I dried off for the photo)...but I think it’s likely just a unique rock that was packed in.

Opinions? It kind of has a gastrolith kind of look to it?

We have very similar rocks here found in the glacial till. I believe it is quartzite. That purple/maroon color is common for quartzite. Gary

Thanks. I Google quartzite and saw a bunch of slabbed countertops, but none that were deep red or maroon colored.

However, I suspect if it were slabbed it would have a similar patterned look.

It sure is hard and dense. Just the right size for throwing.

Interesting the rocks we come across when you actually stop to inspect every stone.

It's out there:

I’m keeping it, just because it feels good in my hand. Why not?
