More, Ohio rock hounding and found this rock. A knife won't touch it. What I think it could be... The only ones found were from the county where I live and dig. Anybody, all ideas are welcome. Thank you

Looks like a naturally tumbled quartz.

I should have put water on it because the colors are better. The water makes darkyellow and green. And yes I found it by a spring.

Could be chert. If it is it will take a good polish in the tumbler.

Quartz can contain different minerals giving it different colors (yellow, blue, green, pink, purple, etc.). I have seen a lot of dark yellow quartz, especially near Gold Basin, Arizona.

OK, I cut it and polished it and You are right on. It acted just like quartz during the polishing process. It has segment lines a looks good but no color. I will post a pic on the same thread. I don't know if I understand but I need to research it and learn more. Thank you
