What do you think it is? Here is a couple pictures:
The shinny parts are silver in color, they are layers and quite soft/maluable. Found it in an excavation pit in upstate Massachusetts, US. Its 3"x4" and weighs about 2lbs, which feels heavy for a stone this size. Also found nearby was a large piece of quartz with ribbons of purple in it, to big to bring home lol I am no longer on that jobsite so cant snap a picture of that.
My guess so far from looking threw pictures with my limited knolage:
ACTINIUM ASTROPHYLLITE JAMESONITE
I would love to hear some opinions and hope the pics and description helps.
