My guess it's a natural formation of flint inside the white coating.

Looks natural to me

I think its natural. I have found stones that have a natural "grip" to them. But they are cool.

Yep natural but if it had been found Im sure they would of made something out of it. Probably flint on the inside.

JD, sorry but I don't see any evidence of that stone ever being worked by man. It is a piece of naturally eroded Limestone. Very common in creeks everywhere.

Just a rock. I have noticed that when a post contains the qualifying phrase 'fits perfectly in the hand' or variations thereof, it is generally just a rock.
