Looks like.... a pebble.

 

[fredflintstone]

Yes, I would say so.

Here's a video of it. It's roughly about 20 stone in weight. Light penetrates it quite deeply. Complete novice with things like this

It looks exactly like the quartz rocks I find on the lakeshore, except yours is much larger!

 

[Arcadian]

looks more like granite or some sort of mix of stuff. whatever it is, its not really what I would consider gemmy, more like...counter top material.

 

[Ionysis]

I revise my view. It appears to be a small boulder.

Quartz like this is quite common. I was a rockhound before working in the colored gemstone business. These can be found just about anywhere in the world from pebbles to boulders.

Yes, definetly alluvial. The stone has been rounded & polished by years and years of moving around in water rubbing against other stones and sand.

Is it worth any kind of monetary value? It's roughly 120 kilos

No, maybe a few dollars for someones rock garden.

 

[fredflintstone]

Do you know how much weight is 120 kilos? 120 = 264 pounds. No, I don't think so.

I think you hit the jackpot with this stone, it’s definitely a keeper

A little but the shipping's a killer.

You could send it to GIA .

I agree that it looks like quartz and has been around the block once or twice. It is not "rock crystal" (glass-like) quartz.

If it's 120 kilos I am more fascinated with the super-human hand that is handling it, than the rock
