    I found this rock in Woolwich Township in Ontario Canada. It is around 75 pounds or so. Has a real green look to in and smooth all-around to the touch. And some type of iron deposit on it.

      Interesting...a quick search reveals a hydrogeological investigation was done in the area for a subdivision. This revealed a lot about the geological makeup of the area, including peat moss, silt till and wetlands. This indicates a glacial area. I would suggest contacting a local geologist in the area that understands the makeup of the local area.
