[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 157297, member: 1899"]I picked this up today and I'm trying to figure out what it's made of and what it's intended use was suppose to be. I wasn't sure which forum to post this in so I hope it's ok here. I think it's made of coal and it's polished on one side. It's about 7" in length, 3" in width and about 2" in depth and weighs about 1 pound 12 ounces. Does anyone know what it was made to be and if it's coal? When I scratch it on rough porcelain it scratches black although it does not blacken my hands. Thanks!
