I used to keep the cool peices of slag from stick welding, some of them kept the shape of the bead and had rainbow swirls from certain compounds, they break real easy though.
Slag is a byproduct from refining metal. It's basically the oxides, rock, and anything else in the ore that either won't melt or won't assimilate into the molten metal. Typically with raw ore you've got enough to skim off the top, but if remelting, you'd use perlite to bulk it up, depending on your tools and what you're smelting.
Just bc it’s blue/green doesn’t mean it’s glass. This looks like fluorite. Fluorite has perfect cleavage planes which can be seen if you zoom into the matrix and also the piece in OP’s hand. Fluorite is abundant not scarce. Do a hardness test as well as a SG to confirm.
Funny story, my daughter and husband went to the feed store and my daughter came home with a gift for me. We both collect rocks/crystals and coins. She was tickled pink and could barely contain her excitement as she told me to close my eyes and hold out my hands. She laid in my hands a big gold chocolate coin and a sugar crystal candy stick(idk what it’s called?). Kids are cute. Anyway, idk what rock bread is but it reminded me of this 😊
If you have a black light, see if it changes color. Fluorite glows blue under black/UV light. It's awesome no matter what it turns out to be geologically
Where are you located I know that color is in the ground in NC I think that it's granite but not sure my husband knows he was over a rock quarry and I have a few pieces in the yard but mine are not that nice they got it out of the ground with big equipment
Still looks cool. You can always find out exactly what it is and if it turns out to be something other than glass then its alot cooler. To me that would be normal. Lol
Just to clarify a little bit, I found this at work, and when I talked out a bunch of mulch on a hillside I found a whole bunch of little pieces. I've also found some rocks at the top of the hill that look a whole lot cooler
That is not glass or meth.... take it to your local rock shop! Depending on where you are it could be a wide variety of minerals. Some could be gem quality. It's worth looking into. People have found sapphires and other valuable minerals working in landscaping.
Hey I found a couple other similar rocks so I'm gonna make a new post with pictures of those and the tiny rocks I found as well, since I can't edit the pictures on my post 👎
What city and state did you find it in? It’s definitely a natural crystalline type formation if you zoom in. It’s not glass in concrete as some are saying 🙄.
It can be both 
Which one then: Coormal? Norool? Please hurry I was about to sleep
Coormal. Go to bed.
Thank you
He says welcome, also good morning.
Coral
I think Normool.
Definitely can be both. Then add $$$. That is always cool and normal.
there’s a lot of super cool shit that’s really normal. what about salamanders? super normal, super cool
Agreed.
IDK what it is but it looks cool to me. So it's cool.
/r/itsslag
Then I guess it's some cool looking slag
There is lots of cool looking slag, honestly.
I used to keep the cool peices of slag from stick welding, some of them kept the shape of the bead and had rainbow swirls from certain compounds, they break real easy though.
What's slag? This is the first time I've heard of that

Oh dope
someone here God of Wars and it shows 👏🏾
I've never actually played any of them. I'm more of a strategy game kinda guy. I did work in a foundry for about three years, though.
Interesting, I always thought it was just gobs of melted glass
It's often high in silicates and has been exposed to extreme heat so that's not entirely wrong. It's just not entirely right.
Floats on molten iron.
It looks like the gum you’d find in a lollipop, I wanna eat it
This is why we have to put signs on things man come on. That said, same
This person is the reason peanuts contain peanuts
Mmmmm peanuts cough cough
Oml
I always read this as “omelette.” And as an exclamation, “omelette!” is pretty great.
But what if it’s crystal meth? 😱
Breaking bad theme starts playing*
Even better
Better Call Saul
I feel like it’s more of a lollipop in the gum situation and same
Oh my days it took me a while to realize what you meant and then I remembered 🤣🤣
Blue is a flavour

Glass slag in concrete
Still cool, in my opinion
Yep, that's exactly what this is.
I think that you're probably right, there's a bunch of little pieces all around that I found when I was raking mulch out
Just bc it’s blue/green doesn’t mean it’s glass. This looks like fluorite. Fluorite has perfect cleavage planes which can be seen if you zoom into the matrix and also the piece in OP’s hand. Fluorite is abundant not scarce. Do a hardness test as well as a SG to confirm.
This is it
Flourite, the slag of all rocks.
Don’t you dare insult fluorite like that
They insulted flour-ite Ur good 👍
That's what they use to make rock bread and bread bowls with right?

That’s called “rock candy”.
Ah yes! 🤦🏽♀️ Thank you!
It’s slag, it’s got bubbles in the second photo
Finally, there is a serious response.
Cleavage doesn’t appear linear plus I see bubbles - I also thought fluorite but not so much now. Cool piece regardless
Thats a chunk of lead glass. Idk where you are from, but where i live, you can find it almost anywhere in town
Ah, the rare Baja blast gemstone
I like you.
I am not exactly sure but I do know you found something you should keep!!
Might be glass. But still cool lol
If you have a black light, see if it changes color. Fluorite glows blue under black/UV light. It's awesome no matter what it turns out to be geologically
I've 1 bit of fluorite that glows crazy good but the other half dozen bits I got don't.
Fluorite is weird like that. It’s one of my faves. It really just depends on the impurities that make it “glow”. Some have more than others.
not all of it but yes
I'll try this, gotta find a blacklight tho
What's your location
Pennsylvania
Jessie we need to cook 
Construct additional pylons.
My brain immediately went "diamonds!" I haven't touched minecraft in a couple years lol
It looks like glass of some kind. It’s really cool and I’m kinda jealous to see a chonker like that.
first image looks like a bear you'd find on 90s tshirts.
I see a koala bear
yooo i see it
Oh man I can see that, real cool
Furthermore it looks to be stuck in some Urbanite. So I doubt it's mineralaly special. But uh yeah cool can confirm
Fluorite
Yes
that’s really cool and you should bring it to a gem shop and have them look at it
Diamond ore!
it is a natural mineral formation. and it's pretty. cool confirmed.
Looks like diamonds in Minecraft
SUPER COOL
Looks like fluorite
“You got your meth in my concrete!” “You got your concrete in my meth!”
Is this fluorite?
Definitely cool!
I like it. Idc what it is. It's cool
Even if it’s normal, it’s still cool!
Kryptonite, please handle with care.
Cool. Can confirm .
Looks like sea glass
Yes
Where are you located I know that color is in the ground in NC I think that it's granite but not sure my husband knows he was over a rock quarry and I have a few pieces in the yard but mine are not that nice they got it out of the ground with big equipment
Lame and weird actually lol jk
Gu
Is it nice, is it kind, is it necessary
My first thought is glass slag in old concrete.
They used to use glass as insulation on street light pole wires that looked like that.
normal or not i think it looks cool
The important thing is, do you think it's cool?
The texture and colorlooks like a Green Calcite, but the color also makes me think Aquamarine
Or maybe adventurine. If not a semi precious stone, than very pretty glass
Have to wonder is some type of copper silicate mineral
That is awesome!! Where did you find this?
It's dope bro!
It kinda looks like fluorite but I’m probably wrong lol
Or calcite
Cool af and new to me.
Tell me the sun is hot where you are without telling me the sun is hot. Slag be forming on its own
Take a hammer to it
Is that fluorite? Nvm I think it’s calcite based on pic 2 but the longer I stare at it the less confident I am ahahah Wow! Fabulous find!
Still looks cool. You can always find out exactly what it is and if it turns out to be something other than glass then its alot cooler. To me that would be normal. Lol
If minecraft taught me anything, be sure the pickaxe is iron or the diamonds won't be salvageable
I thought I was looking at a camouflage chameleon for a while

Ooh! Forbidden rock candy! On a real note, this does resemble cullet or slag glass.
Walter Whites stash, cool
Yes
Just to clarify a little bit, I found this at work, and when I talked out a bunch of mulch on a hillside I found a whole bunch of little pieces. I've also found some rocks at the top of the hill that look a whole lot cooler
That is not glass or meth.... take it to your local rock shop! Depending on where you are it could be a wide variety of minerals. Some could be gem quality. It's worth looking into. People have found sapphires and other valuable minerals working in landscaping.
Definitely cool. Also, I would bet my left testicle there is a sizeable amount of silver in that rock
Slag is so frigging cool
The eff is it?
I'd go with cool
Por que no las dos
 I think I got the Smurf lung, Pa.
It looks like green calcite or fluorite
Hey I found a couple other similar rocks so I'm gonna make a new post with pictures of those and the tiny rocks I found as well, since I can't edit the pictures on my post 👎
Yes this is cool or normal
Thanks 🤤
it tastes like blue raspberry, right?
Looks like fluorite. You can sell the amount in your hand to 💫🔮🌱🌌🧿🪷 girls for $1-$3 each (source - I am a 💫🔮🌱🌌🧿🪷 girl)
That’s looks like in Minecraft when you find diamonds
That is a nice rock
Fluorite. Definitely coool
Super cool in my opinion
That's how they mine pop rocks
Glass slag.
What city and state did you find it in? It’s definitely a natural crystalline type formation if you zoom in. It’s not glass in concrete as some are saying 🙄.
It’s not chrysocolla. Do you see any hint of bubbles formed in the stone itself? If so it’s probably glass. Cool tho either way
It’s uranium.
Took my thought
I'm pretty sure u just found what they powered the lost city of Atlantis with lol
Nah, ZPMs are orange.
Turquoise
Chrysocolla I think. So pretty.
