Hi there everybody. I found this a couple of days ago,but have no idea what it may be. It was attached to another rock and when I picked it up they came part. I just don’t know what it is and I’m wondering if somebody might know what it is and could tell me. I appreciate that. OK thanksI forgot to say that it’s pretty shiny and it’s kind of like a like a gray gray-ish blue and kind a heavy OK thanks.

Post a pic with something for size context. A dime or quarter would help. Is it brittle, malleable, crystalline, etc...? Found at what type of site?

It bears some resemblance to antimony

Thank you. This was in an oldShed on a piece of property we moved onto. So I’m not exactly sure where it did come from. It is hard, but when I tried to scratch it with a dentists pick, it just kind of fell into a little pile. no flaking,just a pile just a pile of really fine shiny stuff. Its cold to the touch; actually,it looks like molten steel or something. And it’s very shiny. Really shiny.

Does it break up in very thin shiny pieces? Looks like Mica to me.
