Got this cigar box labeled Pitcairn Island. Not sure what they are the dark ones are attracted to a magnet and look like gold

sorry it is about4 3/8 long about 2 wide and 1 1/2 inches thick

Not quite sure what to make of this. Iit feels like stone all the way around, but obviously looks different. Please help.

Can someone tell me what this is and if it is worth anything. Besides really liking it.

Thank you well said.

Also is this a type of object that someone would save or want to collect?

Smashed it banged it snorted it and it does have a slight smell of egg.

Thank both of you for stepping up. I have always loved rocks i have lots of them. Im 54 years old and am amazed by the amount of matter out there. I got this rock with the fossil I have heard some cre ...

I am a beginner what exactly do you mean. Its hard and it seems a bit heavier than a regular rock

Chipped off feels heavier than a regular rock not much but it does. I got it at estate auction with this fossil. Sorry about the toes.

Vinegar did nothing Apple cider

Does it matter what kind of vinegar and it looks like inside is black one of the pics you can see it.

Couple more pics when I tap it it kinda pings.

Got at an estate auction and also a fossil.
