I should have noted that the Cherts are a sedimentary rocks and some can look like the OP.

It is not rounded enough to be a water tumbled pebble of say agate or jasper, as found on beaches.

I am not sure but I think I can see remnents of a typical obsidian conchoidal fracture in the centre of the OP picture, so the specimen could be a red obsidian, although some forms of chert (as flint) exhibit this fracture mode.

It is also a bit large and pure to be a red feldspar, which is another possibility.

Density and microstructure will tell the difference without destructive testing.

It weights around 3 grams and it's very hard. I tried scratching it with another rock, a glass and a steel knife, only the knife barely scratched it. It has something inside of it when i look at it on the light but i don't know what it is, it's a little circle (3 of them to be exact).

Carnelian fire agate perhaps?

 

It might be, i couldn't find exactly how hard this agate is but it looks similar. Thank you.

Oh, yea it looks similar. Or it could be orange flake?

Is it warm to the touch and does it have a pine smell when you rub it? If so, it's some form of tree sap resin. I think old stuff is called amber.

No, it.doesn't. It feels like a rock - cold, solid and it doesn't smell like anything i think. And i have this tree sap resin you are talking about and it's not even close to this thing's hardness, that's why i'm curious.

Hello everyone! I have been reading on here for a few days now and i remembered that i found a weird looking rock when i was young and i still have no idea what it is. Can anyone help me identify it? I'm curious.
