What is this stone?

Hello, I found this yesterday. I found it by chance on the ground because it was sparkling in the sun and I took it with me. Now I have no idea what kind of stone it is. I have never seen it before.

The first picture is the front, the second is the back, and the third is a side view. I tried to figure out what it is using Google Lens, but haven't been able to figure it out yet. Maybe someone knows what it is and can help me out. Regards.

The piece is called arkose. If a sandstone has been formed, however, it still contains unwitted components of the starting rock (e.g. small mica flakes, which so sparkle), which the sandstone does not have. Sandstone consists almost exclusively of small quartz grains, but the arkose consists of quartz grains, field-pattern grains and mica platelets. The rounding was created by the transport in a brook or river.

Arkose is just as “valueless” or “valueless” as sandstone or limestone.

Looks like sandstone… However, I am not an expert 🙂

Probably any minerals are included, which is not rare. Sand in itself usually glitters a bit.

you can actually do, don’t talk about it.

Is that easy? Could be some pumice stone that was rounded off by the water or something.

Hmmm. Villt, there are gold stones in there when it’s heavy and sparkles. Google to geologist forums or so and ask again.

Looks like a biscuit or a crimped tail of a horse.
