  • Another shiny backyard find. What is it?

    This is another favorite of my backyard finds. I would like to know what kind of rock it is, please. Also, I know this is not the artifact section, but this rock fits many of the criteria for a polishing stone. It's high gloss, it's shape and there are notches in the corners that make it fit in the hand very comfortably. I am posting several pictures to show the notches and the contours for the hand. I appreciate your comments!

          Nature did all the tumbling. That's the way I found it in the dirt in my backyard.
