Not all crystals have smooth edges. The only crystals that I think have smooth edges are water worn ones. So your answer is no.
A weathered rock is usually smooth and broken down from erosion over time. A rock that is not weathered is usually rough, with jagged edges. NB: A lot depends on the type of rock.
The rock that is very smooth is most likely the one that was found in riverbed because the river would probably toss the rock around and weather it down until it is smooth. Therefore, that means that the other rock was most likely found underground.
Yes. Obsidian is shiny on unweathered fracture surfaces. It is also an extrusive rock that is felsic, and can be worked to nearly molecular thinness at the edges.
Weathering and erosion. Weathering causes rock to break into smaller particles. When these particles are transported by wind, water, or ice, the jagged edges from fracture are gradually worn down from abrasion with other particles, making the outer surface appear relatively smooth. Sometimes the mere abrasive effects of windblown particles on a rock will smooth the exposed surface, leaving the remainder of the rock jagged.
The force of the water will have worn it smooth, with no sharp edges.
A cut with smooth edges is called an incision.

what can we infer about native american cultures that created the rock art
calls-Last answer BS Diamond when shined and cut is smooth and pointy at the edges, when it is not yet refined it is like a regular rock, rough and stuff.
I'm not sure what you mean by smooth raised edges, but I would suggest you take it to a coin dealer and have it appraised.
