In my technical opinion, as a geologist, I would guess that is is a rock of some sort.



(In all seriousness, though, it's just a rock. Probably a piece of milky quartz broken out of a conglomerate, with some of the matrix still attached. )

Hi , welcome to gemology online forum

can it possible that post some more pictures? if yes then please make a picture(s) that the light is back of the stone.

My first opinion is that your stone is glass.

But the opinion maybe changed after seeing new pictures :) :)
