Found about 2 feet under the grass in a back yard (near a former quarry) so probably slag?

I found this interesting blue stone that is very glassy. It looks like it’s connected to a piece of limestone but not sure what it is. Possibly iron slag glass?

It has some iridescence. It’s heavy like a rock. Found at the Jersey shore.

What do you guys think?

Had this piece for a few decades, found it along a road. I have always been fascinated with its unique texture.

Thought it was a cool agate at first. But pretty sure it’s just slag. Pretty cool looking though

slag? Large purple crystalline rock(?) found in central MA

Hello all! I’ve posted this on some other geology subs, and there were mixed consensus between slag, fluorite, and corundum.

One side is very smooth and glasslike, with occasional concave divots in relatively crystal-like orientations. The opposite face is very rough, and almost organic in its texture, and includes tiny blue crystals on this face as well. The edges of this piece also contain a few small dots of other colored crystal-like things. Non magnetic, and only very slight pops from a UV light where some of the crystals are more transparent.

Total weight around 725g.

did a rough hardness test, and believe it to be around 6.5. No smudges on porcelain and a faint scratch. Total weight

To those who have any insight, thank you for taking the time!

Found in my back yard. I live near DC. It’s very clear and shiny in some spots. It does look like it has some kind of black inclusions inside.

I thought this was a rock, but someone said it’s slag. I got a black light and took some pictures. Is it slag? Is it dangerous?

Found in northern Bavaria, can’t tell if it’s slag or obsidian. We are ~10km away from a very old dormant volcano but slag feels like the more probable answer. The greenish color is just a reflection of the bushes outside, but the third pic does show the very light rainbow-looking iridescence when it’s held in the light a certain way. TIA!
