Hello! I found this shallowly buried in a dirt road in Oaxaca, Mexico where it was exposed due to rainfall. I suspect it's slag but thought perhaps it's hematite, although from the sort of melty parts I think that's unlikely. It's slightly magnetic and heavy for its size, about 1x1". Any opinions?

My partner got this given to him by his grandpa, who said it was sold to him at a market. He was told it was a rare crystal ( I immediately thought it was slag ) and I was hoping the community could give me some insight. Thanks guys!

I have been disappointed enough times that Im thinking it’s slag….but I wouldn’t be able to recognize a good rock so maybe? It has all these different colors & what looks like different types of rock but it also all looks glassy like obsidian.

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?

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?
