An acquaintance of mine has had this piece for years and has yet to figure out what it is. Any ideas?

hey Nate,
I suggest you look at the possibility it might be Slag, "Railroad Slag". When I first look at the pictures, that's what I see. It comes in many different colors and green is a very common one. I have several pieces laying around that look a lot like that but can't seem to find them at the moment. Here are a couple of pics from the internet. Have a good one, Woody.
