My family found this and I'm not sure what it is, is there anybody who knows where can I exactly post it and get any idea?

Damn that’s sweet. Where’d y’all find it? Does it taste salty if you lick it?

You stupid son of a bitch, that's a fucking alien pod. Put it back and bury it deep, before it's too late.

1. Can you scratch it with your fingernail?
2. Put some vinegar on it. Does it fizz?
3. Take it to a rock shop.

I'm an amateur geologist, whenever I dig up something out of the ordinary I usually post it on r/rockhardbottoms and they get back to me in about 30 ish minutes.

That’s an artifact annon. Probably chalcedony like others said. It’s a scraper used for cleaning hides and stuff. Where’d you find it? If it’s on public land your local archaeologist would be interested in it. It is illegal to remove artifacts from public lands but speaking from someone in the field, forest service and park service people won’t prosecute you for this. Especially since it’s not an obvious “arrowhead” that most people like to collect. You clearly did not know it was an artifact and any reasonable archaeologist would know that most lay people don’t know what a worked lithic looks like (except projectile points of course).

OP is a huge faggot for not responding with additional pics, dimensions, scratch test results, or where rock was found.

It looks like chalcedony but if it is, it's the rarest sample of pink chalcedony I've seen; certainly gem quality.

Glassy like, you can tell with the conchoidal fractures it’s silica based, and was either produced in some dramatic heating event (not enough time for the atoms to arrange into a crystalline structure), or man-made. Looks like a really interesting specimen.

The right hand pic is desert rose. It can be gypsum or barite.

The left hand pic looks like smoky quartz.
