Smooth round white stone

[SaraHutch]

It's not really a new find bit I've had this stone for years and I just came across it in storage. Hoping someone can help me identify it. I found it in my yard not near a water source it weighs 3.8ounces and it's about 1.5 inches. It is not perfectly round but it's very hard material

I've got one just like that - not sure what it was for, but it's obviously not naturally formed.

1st - I noticed this was your very first post Sara - so, Welcome Aboard! Take a look at Sub-Forums: Oregon for information (i.e., clubs, etc.) directly related to your state.

2nd - I moved this thread from Today's Finds! over to Forum: What Is It? for more exposure.

Welcome to Treasurenet.
It was probably formed by a glacier, check out the base of every conveyor belt at a gravel pit, and there will be dozens of spherical stones that roll back down the belt and hop off.
They are formed by slowly being rolled and ground under tons of ice, still very cool, and may have been picked up and used for something by prehistoric man, but probably naturally formed.
