[QUOTE="chuff, post: 365938, member: 11242"] Thank you one and all for your replies. My dad has the rock so I'll ask him for more information based on everyone's responses. @Goldfreak I haven't put a flame to it but I'll ask my father to do so and report the outcome but I expect it to have no effect. I'm not sure whether the orange bits are soft or not, I think they are, but viewed under a magnifying glass shows all the orange bits have a spiral pattern to them. @aussiefarmer It has no smell to it at all. It's very solid & quite heavy, heavier then most rocks of similar size. Also, it has no attraction to a magnet if that means anything. I'm trying to gauge whether it is rare or worth anything and based on the responses so far, I'm guessing it might just be a rock. Thanks all. [/QUOTE]
