Description
Found this in a forest far, far away from where anyone has ever lived in my location on the surface of the ground. It's very heavy, and approximately the size of a large mango. It is stone-like. I have friend who is a geologist who thinks this object may be from space.

Not a clue. But it is a challenge presented to you to use it in a work of art. Great find. Good luck in the contest. F/L/V
Rand Burns replied:
Thank you for your comment and the well wishes about the contest. It is a curious stone, which is very heavy for its size. I appreciate your F/L/V Maria.
Nancy Griswold
So cool, very odd, maybe an archeologist, (looks pehistoric) Hmmmm, enjoying the mystery, what a cool find!
Elisabeth Lucas
Very interesting! Have you found out anything else? Lf
Rand Burns replied:
Thank you for your comment and the L/F on this mysterious rock Elisabeth. No, I haven't found out anything else, but would love to know more. It is very heavy for its size is one of the most curious things. It reminds one of a mango.

This "mystery" stone may or may not be native American in origin. If it is, then it would be too heavy for any utilitarian purpose. It have been intended for a ceremonial purpose or as a "badge of office". (I still prefer the space theory).
Rand Burns replied:
Thank you for your comment Dave. I prefer the space theory too. Always appreciate your banner stone search and letting me know. It is very heavy. Like lead. Still a mystery.
Jimmy Carender
It does resemble a bannerstone. very interesting artifact. You have a piece of history.
Rand Burns replied:
Glad you spotted this object from the woods. I looked it up too. It does have a resemblance. It is heavy as lead.
Kandace Koch
Dave is entirely right. Or at least I think so after looking up bannerstone on the internet. Thanks Google! Anyway, if you go to https://arrowheads.com/www/index.php/bannerstones/326-bannerstones-what-are-they Look at the picture on the right. It is almost identical to what you have.
Rand Burns replied:
Kandace, thank you for the link. You and Dave are right after viewing the images.

Wow Randy I wish I could see it closer , amazing found I wonder how got to the earth I will be careful I hope don't have a small radiation :-) Take care!! lfv
Rand Burns replied:
Deyanira, I wouldn't be surprised if it did have a little radiation. It is a bizarre stone and weighs a ton for its size. Thank you for the fv..you take care too!!
Dave Farrow
Randy this is truly a mystery stone. I have been a rock hound for sixty years and all I have to offer are ideas. You say this piece is very heavy so I think we can safely rule out a prehistoric bannerstone preform since they weren`t that heavy. A paleontologist would probably rule out any type of fossil. Space debris contains large amounts of iron and is quite heavy...sooooooo...(?)
Rand Burns replied:
Hello Dave. I am happy hearing your observation about this unique and strange rock. I would love to find out it is truly space debris of some sort. Odder than the appearance is the weight for its size. Thank you for taking the time to write a comment about it.
Dave Farrow
Randy, this could possibly be an unfinished prehistoric native American bannerstone. I have seen unfinished prismoidal and shield banners that look remarkably similar. The thought of it being from space however, is much more intriging.
Rand Burns replied:
Dave, thank you for your incredible information and a clue to what this may be. I am definitely going to Google your suggestion. Yes, I love the idea of space and other worlds much more too. Thank you Dave.
Mariola Bitner
Really interesting Randy! Whatever you have, it is definitely unique! V/F
Rand Burns replied:
Merridy, thank you for featuring this unknown 'rock' in the Rocks group. I hope someone can identify it.
Kim Sy Ok
Mysterious and captivating-hope it is from space :)!! v/f -Kim
Rand Burns replied:
Yes it is and I am so glad you got a chance to view it. I hope it is from space too. I will keep you posted if something hatches from it! : )
Barbara St Jean
That is cool!! UFO space junk? Is it radio active? Awesome F/V
Rand Burns replied:
Thanks Barbara. Yep space junk I believe. I Hope it's not radioactive, but I sure love the thing. Really bizarre and weighs a ton! Thanks for the f/v
