Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Stone funny shape
-
11-04-2015 3:26pm#1I found this stone some years ago on a beach here in the South East.
I always thought the shape was interesting, it might be completely random natural, but I thought I would just show it here for opinions. It fits perfectly in the hand, like a tool, but I've never seen anything of the kind on here or online. Then again I have no clue.
It's a weird kind of stone that feels, weighs, and nearly sounds like metal. It doesn't feel heavy and dense like granite, say. If you clink it with a spoon it nearly sounds more like a metal. It looks like it's "melted" on the top, but underneath it looks more like it chipped off something.
So, is my stone just a stone ? Will I toss it or keep it ?
Only putting up one or two pics, but I have some more in my pix.ie album.

I was on a beach in Sweden last week which had an old limestone kiln nearby. All the stones on the beach looked strange and had a metal sound like you describe. They were also whitish in colour. Maybe your stone did form naturally and whatever that metal sound is causes it to form in a strange shape?0 -
