I found them in Middle Tennessee. They were very concentrated in the area. They're black, with blue/purple or green tints, some more than others. Some are smooth and feel just like glass and some are rough/bumpy. Any input would be much appreciated. They look better in person.

I'm thinking that they are slag from an old iron furnace. I've found similar around and old iron furnace

When I first found the ones that I found, I thought I was finding obsidian but there isn't any obsidian in Virginia. They are still cool!
