I found this crystal behind my house. I live in San Diego, Ca.
It's density is 3.4 and ther diamond tester reads high but falls short of buzzing. I have no idea what i found. Any info is greatly appreciated.

I moved the post to a more appropriate category.
It's not a forum announcement.

Better pictures needed to offer much of an opinion.

However, first impression is that it doesn't look like a crystal, it looks more amorphous like glass or resin.

And another example of why diamond testers are totally unreliable tools.
