	Mystery Crystallized Rock « on: January 14, 2010, 11:36:30 am »

This is a crystallized type of rock that I do not know what it is. Any Ideas?
It came from a collection of my grandmothers and not sure where she got it, I think it was some where in the mid-west, she lived in Illinois.

It's a rock on the ground, it's a specimen when you take it home.

Pumice? from a lava flow.
It is basically obsidian with air bubbles throughout.
It should be relativily light compared to it's size.
