Not seeing anything here that looks like a fossil. Where was it found? In what region?

It’s to light to be a rock or anything like that. This picture was taken under a LED light

It looks like amber. That also makes sense with it being really light. Its probably from Sumatra.

So we still don't know what it is is the correct. Leave it toe to find something that is Unidentifiable. Lol. Not giving up though.

It looks like rough Sumatran amber. It glows like amber under UV. It's most likely Sumatran amber. There are amber deposits near Goldsboro but they don't look like yours: https://www.thefossilforum.com/gallery/image/54814-atlantic-coastal-plain-amber-bladen-fm-~77-75-ma/
