Is this savannah river green stone?

I'm a little more than halfway down the florida peninsula on the east coast. Would be great if this piece made its way down from there.

Wow that's a weird rock for your area and would be in mine, too. Does it seem softer than chert? Greenstone is much more abradable or workable. Kinda looks like a conglomerate/baybottom but that color is really strange and it has that reddish streak. They sure were using that piece! Figure hammer or even pestle?

It reminds me of this mineral on a quartz that I found. I forget the name of it, but can easily find out if it matches your piece.

It's extreamly hard and dense. Heavy sucker. I agree with hammer or pestel. Only one like it I have found. There was an antler billet close to it. Its harder than the chert. Thinking hammer

That looks like Epidote on a quartz crystal. I would bet my life on it.

OK..back to my topic. I had a thought that it looked a bit like a ballast stone and with the shipwrecks in my area and the role the Ais tribe played during that time I searched only a little and found this from a 1700's spanish wreck site.hmmmm.. very interesting

Here are a couple cobbles I found here in Indiana almost resembling yours. Glacial deposits. Once in a great moon I'd find a chip of this stuff. Then found a couple cobbles, then last year a broken artifact of it in the bottom right. I tried making a point out of it also. Very heavy also.

Very interesting..thanks. It's a long way from home to be here whatever it turns out to be.
