It has what COULD be fusion crust, but I can't figure out the concentric rings.. I have to go with no. Was it found in a known strewnfield? Could it have been worked by the Yavapai? Interesting!

I think it’s crust too. I can’t figure out the rings either! I’ll have to do some research on the Yavapai idea. Thank you!

Very welcome - Congrats on a great find! They supposedly hold a lot of shamanistic ritual powers if you’re into that type of stuff, but very cool geological story even if you’re not.
