    image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg It's framed but no glass so not sure if decorative piece or framed by its previous owner. I may try to take the mount off to check the back of the stone.
    Any thoughts?

    image.jpg image.jpg Ok, that was easy.
    I see green on the inside. Appears to be soft.

    Took some better photos. Could it be a spear blade?
    Any suggestions on the type of stone?

    Possibly basalt. Not any kind of spear blade that I am familiar with, and spears or arrowheads would be made of flint, chert, obsidian, or other material with the correct fracture properties.
    This might just be someone's idea of Art.
