Hi and good morning
I was working in the yard with the tiller and came up with a lot of usual stuff like old drive way rocks, pea gravel, clay, quartzy bits etc but when raking it around I noticed some shine; after cleaning it a bit I see it’s a conglomerate of sorts and none of the rock ID apps that I have recognize it as anything. I thought it might be a sand stone, but it is a little hefty (about 6 oz) .
In the pictures the clear inclusions come out looking very paper white from the lighting but they look like water droplets almost frozen In time. some inclusions have a mirror/foil look going on but nothing I can flake off.
It’s pretty neat and in the keep pile now but so curious if anyone knows what is.
Thanks so much
