    I must admit, that’s a pretty interesting looking rock.

      I have been waiting for someone to come in here to tell us what kind of rock it is. No such luck so far.

        I believe it’s made of Bethanite

          Well when you put it like that it makes perfect sense.

        Hard to tell from the picture but I was wondering if it was some form of Serpentinite.

        Silicon tretraoxide most likely, if it’s a terrestrial rock.

      It looks kind of like a frog.

        it might be made from froggalite. They should ask a geologist to confirm.
