Native American artifact or just a rock?

It looks like just a rock...... sedimentary, maybe sandstone.

Looks like a water worn rock to me too.
Sedimentary like Larry said. Not knowing what state it was found in makes it more difficult to determine the rock type. It looks a lot like red banded slate to me.
Also the fact that the original owner of the desk might have been 1/4 Cherokee has nothing to do with the rock. Some Native Americans collect Indian artifacts just like non Native Americans. No one of any race is born with an automatic knowledge of what their ancestors knew. It all has to be learned.
