Rock ID please!
JoJoDapyro:
It doesn't look good at all to me. Bottle bottoms, toilets, tile are all a quick fairly simple knappable material. Do a search on stone in your area, and then look at what type of fracture it has. You want stone that has a conchoidal fracture.
What you want will have a waxy luster most of the time.
YosemiteBen:
looks like a chunk of basalt to me.
Dakota Kid:
It has bubbles and reminds me of some of the slag glass or industrial coke I find along the lake sometimes. Slag glass can be a good material on rare occasions, but the bubbles put it into the not so good category.
mullet:
I agree with Ben, lots of Basalt in your area.
Knotty:
Great, thanks for the help everyone! 😊
