Hi yall,
When I was a kid I found a rock tht was odd I hauled it from the creek i found it in and brought it home.
It sat outside on the porch kinda as a paper weight but I lost track of it after high school.
I am gonna attempt to describe it here wish i had pictures and maybe someone can help.
It was a white stone we used to call it quartzite, not clear at all looks like the white streaks you sometimes see in granite.
it had a slight curve across the top almost like a dome and a mirror curve on the bottom but not as pronounced both ends flared out thicker with the thinner section in the middle. The rock was a little bigger than my fist top to bottom about 4 inches side to sidemaybe 6 inched width was 3 inches or so. right in the center was a holebut it was not perfectly round the it looked like 2 holes drilled together side by side so close they merged together...hope i explained that right. the holes looked to be about a quarter inch in diameter but were close to 1/2 inch togetherit really looked like you could string 2 pieces of rope through the hole and then tie it onto something like a forked stick or something.
it was a hefty rock maybe a pound or so.
Any Ideas? I know someone somewhere made it for something holes dont just appear in rock like that...wish i could find it but someone else owns that house now.
