Anyone know what this is that I have dug out of my garden, there is loads of it, its blueish, some of it looks like honeycomb but not all of it, I can break it with a spade and it smells like rotting eggs which I presume is some kind of sulphur? Cheers

Possibly basic slag from an old furnace. Are you near an iron making part of the world?

Think I'll just go with the death bomb theory!! Although unfortunately I suspect its more on the basic slag side of things. I was hoping I'd hit upon and rare mineral and my house would be suddenly worth millions!

Are you next to a railway line? Could be clinker from coal burning locomotives.
