We really can not tell much about your find.
The picture is not only out of focus but "flash" has given it a white out appearance.
Take your picture outside, see if that helps. Also take pic from four sides to give more of
a overall view.
Your "find" only has potential if we can at least determine more definition.

i see no evidence to be a hand axe. is there any reworking, grinding or polish to the stone? the pics are to bright to see much. right now i would say it to be not man made. just my opinion. jim

I know the pics do it no justice im taking them with my phone. To answer your question about evidence of working the answer is yes along the bottom you can see where it was worked to flatten it out and along the top as well all look simetricle and even in thickness commingle to an edge at the front. Could all be coincidence but im not willing to give up just yet got my hopes up to high on it I guess. I will try to take more detailed photos and post them I guess I figured what it was would be more obvious to everyone else. Who knows could just be a cool looking rock. I appreciate your thoughts about it and will post more pics. Thank you
