Bought this on online auction site recently from a Japanese seller. Its a "viewing stone". Apologies if this is not a fossil. I am a novice. I've done quite a few hours of research, but have decided that I just don't have the experience needed to make an identification. No matter how may pictures I look at and for how long..... I haven't received it yet. It seems to have a hole in the top and one hole on the side. Am not sure if its hollow or if the holes are shallow. The pictures are dark...apologies again. If needed, I will post better pictures when I have it in my hands. Or maybe maybe its obvious what it is, at a glance...to an experienced eye. I've compared it to slag, fossils, even meteorites (extremely unlikely). Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Hello! I picked up this weird half orb at the beach this weekend. It's very heavy for the size and looks like a half orb with inner rings of differing shades. It's reddish brown and when I first got it wet, it stained by my fingers a bright red! On cleaning it up, the surface is rough with sparkles lol With the weight and colour, I thought it must be an Iron concretion of some kind. But I've never found one this lovely and round - nor with internal rings. Please help - Internet geology wizards.
