Isseliss Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Hey everyone. I picked up this "rock" at the beach at Tramore, Ireland, a few years ago and recently found it in one of my drawers, wondering what it is. It seems to consist of two parts: Crust - bright yellow, porous, semi-hard on touch with minuscule shiny "glass" pieces Inside - a mixture of different "rocks" covered by the crust It's not magnetic, doesn't seem to fall apart, and is impossible to dent with fingers. I guess I could easily crack it with pliers and some pressure. Thanks in advance for all tips! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasong Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 We had one of these last year. It's road stripe paint with reflective glass beads in it. ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like in the original post, I just tried sticking a burning hot needle into it. It's 100% road paint as the needle melted a hole in it ?♂️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Bach Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 That is a bit of a letdown.It reminds me of my ex wives attempt at making chocolate chip cookies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
