If this is stone, it's very strange.   Found in NE colorado near the WY border.

I suspect that the strangeness is the result of weathering. The lighter color being the weathered material. There may be a certain amount of texture in the rock, caused by some kind of deformation during deposition, which the process accentuates.

Mineralogically, it resembles siderite, limonite, or a similar iron carbonite to me. It is an interesting piece.
