The photos don’t help much, but possibly jasper surrounded in hematite. I can’t tell for certain.
Where was it found ?

 

[ToddsPoint]

The center section is softer rock than the upper and lower and has eroded away.

I found it along with a lot of pebbles in a construction area. Probably transported from a river bank for construction purposes.

We find a lot of those in bank run gravel in the northeast. Sedimentary layers break off--or are broken off--then shaped by glacial action.

Sorry my mistake

Could it be a artifact

Could it be a artifact

Not likely. Rocks like this are quite common; they're called banded iron or banded hematite formations. Hematite is also fairly common in several Southern Indian States.
