Found this sitting in a crack in bedrock while fishing a creek in upstate New York.

I’m thinking blue calcite? Maybe a stalagmite from how the bottom looks? Also the bottom looks kind of like coral to me.

Has no affect on metal detector, magnet, or Geiger counter….

The color and luster also reminds me of the chert pieces I find here in western ny. Never seen a piece this blue looking though. Usually has more of a grayish color to it.
Right, I'd love to find one that blue- going to keep an eye out now- WNY has the greatest rock finds!
