Just what the heck is this? At first I thought it was metal and maybe a cannonball or something but I’m no so sure. It’s about 3” diameter and is only slightly magnetic, a strong magnet will attract it if close. Scratching it doesn’t appear to reveal any shiny metal. It really looks like a tomato turned to stone or something. There are tons of very old Indian ruins all around my land, mostly the Zuni and Anasazi. I actually found this just outside of a cliff dwelling half buried in the dirt. My first thought was cannonball since the conquistadors did terrorize the Zuni Indians with heavy artillery around the year 1500. But it dosn’t look like any pictures of cannonballs I’ve seen. this was also a major volcanic region of New Mexico with the last eruptions occurring around 10,000 years ago. Not sure if it’s volcanic in nature.

I’m new to this site and was interested in the petrified mango. My father as well gave me two. One as whole rock and the other there is cracked and shows 3 parts and the seed as well. Can anyone direct me in the right direction on who would help in identifying the worth of some this as a petrified mando. Thx
