Physical properties

Small, smooth, dark brown-to-black, with a bright glossy reflection. Hardness, crystal structure, cleavage, and specific gravity cannot be determined from the image.

Formation & geological history

Could be a naturally occurring mineral or rock that has been cut and polished; formation age and process cannot be inferred visually.

Uses & applications

Possibly used in jewelry or as a decorative bead; no specific use can be confirmed.

Geological facts

The bright spots appear to be reflections, not necessarily crystals or inclusions.

Field identification & locations

A sharp close-up in natural light and tests of hardness, streak, and magnetism would help distinguish stone from glass or another material. The reported location near 34.3°N, 6.5°W does not establish provenance.
