<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 385959, member: 5833"]Welcome, Renee. Put me in the slag glass camp too, for all the reasons already mentioned & also because it was found by a river, a good place to be if you're manufacturing anything that requires power. I have to this day, many, many days later than the day I got it, a piece of material found by a river during a grade school outing when we were supposed to be looking for fossils. Found plenty of those too, but the pinkish 'stone' I also found seemed the most beautiful, magical thing ever dug out of sand (another thing good to have handy if you're making glass). Later confirmed by a natural history museum mineralogist to be glass. Think the color has faded a little over the decades.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]133596[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
