This just looks like a rock, but to the trained eye, it says much more. I've never seen anything like this before. It was found on the large Woodland site we used to look and it's just a smooth rock. It's not even much when you hold it. I'm not even sure why I kept it, but after washing it off and examining it, the entire rock has been worked. It was pecked down to it's current shape and smoothed down with something that would give our finest sandpaper a run for its money. I showed it to the head archaeologist and he didn't know what it was. The amount of time that went into making this is absurd and it's not shaped like anything. I could see it being an inlay nose to a wooden bird totem, but even that is stretching it. No clue what this is or was. It's just a rock now.
I have seen things before that would make your mouth drop open. I have friends who have very nice collections. My collection is a 3 on a scale of 1 to 10, their collections are 8's and 9's. One friend has an incredible piece that he called a "Shaman Stone." Since nothing I have seen was even close to this piece, that name was fine with me. It is an 8 inch piece of hard stone that was 3/4 inch wide and square. It is straight as an arrow and could not be made with more precision. It is an incredible work of art just to get it square for that length. It would serve no mechanical purpose but would be highly revered because of the time it took to make it. It was a water find from many years ago. My "rock" doesn't even compare to this piece. You know it is something, my rock not so much.
Just because my unknown piece isn't much to look at, here is a pic of a piece from my friends collection. It's a personal find of his and it's not even close to his best piece.
