Holding this rock, I feel a sense of connection to the past.
This rock is just too cool to have not been napped by someone long ago.

Below are other pieces I have found around Central Texas.

It is too uniform to not have been intentionally chipped away. My bet is that it is some sort of scraper or axe. Which only leaves me with even more questions.
I found a small bird point around the same area and it too is made of an even shinier, smoother white stone, maybe white obsidian?
