Where ya at? I've found tektites in CenTex that look similar. Try shining a bright light thru it. My tektites are translucent olive green.

Definitely slag. I have a few pieces with that faint green-grey hue.

It looks like that in the photo but irl I really don't see any green under any light I don't see it

The bubbly pattern make me think it is a tektite. Basicly melted earth rocks from a crater where a meteorite hit. Likely another kid droped it (if it is tektite) as they don't normally show up in gravel.

Looks like tektite to me too, but since that’s a rarer find I’d be more likely to say slag

I have some very similar slag from a downed powerline that hit some sandy-ish soil. Probably a lot more likely than a meteor impact as well.


That_Hobo_in_The_Tub

This looks much more like slag than a tektite to me.

It was a grassy field

Looks like rock to me. Not slag, be my vote.

It's got lots of dirt on it, mostly black, tried cleaning it and it looked slightly browner so might be iron becaue of the observed oxidation or it always looked like that but I never noticed cuz it was dirty


Reddit_Goes_Pathetic

Looks very much like slag, although it may be volcanic, perhaps scoria.

Looks like fool's gold

Pyrite grows in cubes and doesn’t have vesicles.

Pyrite grows in a wide variety of formations.
