cold hammered copper axe?
After hours of reading about curved bit copper axes, I have put this artifact on to see what everyone else has to say about this and other copper artifacts from the northeast. This artifact is from Massachusetts Thanks!-

NOT copper, it's rock(maybe a small amount of copper in it?)- NOT cold hammered or hammered at all- and definitely NOT an axe. It is a natural rock in all respects with no sign of human modification. Try taking a hammer to an edge and see what happens, but watch out for flying rock chips.

Not an artifact, just a rock.

Looks like a chunk of iron-shale. Is it magnetic? Wouldn't it have some green oxide showing if it was copper?
