Found by a river between Durango and Silverton, Colorado. Just trying to get some idea of what it might be. Seems rather metallic, in some respects. Any thoughts appreciated.

My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

It looks like a gold nugget to me.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

LOL, why is that not surprising to me Smile

I did have it ID'd. Just a rock partially covered w/ melted metal (was found along train tracks). Magnets adhere to it.

Oh, right, it is merely Bartolomeo Bosco’s old magic wand. The wand was made out of a strange amalgam of metals known only to himself and Erasmus of Rotterdam. After Bosco’s death, the wand was stolen by a ginger-haired railway fireman, who threw it into a locomotive’s fire box to see if it would make the old steam engine go faster but it blew up in his face. And that was the end of the story until now.

And I just noticed the word "Chopped" engraved in small letters in an inconspicuous area of the rock!

The word chopped relates to food more often than not and so perhaps it is partly a can of chopped tomatoes or something.
