I have found another specimen with a pronounced silver 'line'

I really don't know what to make of it. In this new piece, its like its a silver blob that melted and oozed out of the tiny gash in the stone. I'm disinclined now to a post fall chemical reaction. Do take note of the oxidation effect the rain had on the stone.

There is another specimen with silver 'blotches' on this page, the 29.5g piece.

Any good theories out there?
