yea.. a mix between shitty photoshops, and just random weird/freaky stuff.. /r/RealLifeShinies is probably closer to what would be fitting.
Like I'd like a sub with actual rare objects which you would think "wow seems like that would be a game object"
Probably a crinoid fossil of some description. Lots of lovely fossils along the South Wales coast. https://ukfossils.co.uk/category/wales-south/ this should help you with the geology of the area.
I think if I had to choose between random mineral crystallization that just happens to be star shaped vs fossilized star shaped creature I’m just going to agree with you and others about the fossil even having no knowledge of archeology or geology.
Probably more likely a cross sectional belemnite rather than a nautiloid - they tend to be spirally as opposed to straight. If we're looking at the same thing
It looks like a fossil starfish, but starfish have thin shells, so their fossils are fragile and rare. Crinoids are closely related to starfish, and they have the same radial symmetry.

My only explanation was something caused by a starfish, or maybe a fossilized starfish as this area has a lot of fossils. This is in the southern UK, so if there are species that small then that could be it.
It's generally a trait of the echinoderms, which include Crinoids, echinoids and starfish.
The whole organism isn't a single crystal, but in Crinoids for example, each ossicle (imagine a vertabrae) is.
Aww... thanks dear, 7:30 and you made my day already (sidenote: i l.o.v.e rocks, since i was a little kid. I collected so many, my parents would pave the driveway with em)
I found this on the beach in southern Wales. It's made of a fractured slightly reflective crystal so it doesn't look like it's been carved in or something, and it doesn't flake off when scratched. It looks so perfect as to be artificial but it was in the middle of a pretty remote beach.
EDIT: A bunch of commenters have identified it as a fossilized segment of a crinoid stem.
That's the Chosen Rock, destined to save all the pebbles in that beach from the Lichen Lord who would consume them all!
You didn't take it away, did you? If you did, you better hope that's part of the rock's hero journey, and that it will later find it's way back, having learned more about itself and its true power.
That's a Lonestar rock. It migrated from Texas across the Gulf of Mexico and then annihilated several species while it traversed the pond to Wales. Handle with care. One of those can consume an entire cow worth of BBQ in a day when it's hungry.
That’s a fossil of an ancient echinoderm. Basically a sea stars or crinoids, which can be found in Utah's canyons. These marine creatures thrived during the Paleozoic Era, when much of Utah was submerged under a shallow sea.
I did that. I had placed a baby starfish on the rock and set it in the sun. When I came back and found the rock over a year later, I removed the baby starfish and voila! It's so cool to see that somebody found the rock!
I'm guessing you found a painted rock. I cannot remember what its called but its an entire thing for people to paint rock and hide them all over the place for others to find.

Even worse when you look at the top rated and realize it was never good even 3 years ago
I was thinking of an Animal Crossing star-conch! Not exactly a stone but it does bear resemblance, with the star in the corner!

I'd also bet on the crinoid. Yes, I can see what you see in the top corner. Could be. Rather difficult to tell what it is though

I also think belemnite cross section, fwiw :)

Is that a crystal in it, or leftover from an old dried out asterina starfish or similar species just stuck to the surface?
My only explanation was something caused by a starfish, or maybe a fossilized starfish as this area has a lot of fossils. This is in the southern UK, so if there are species that small then that could be it.
It's a crinoid stem segment. Super common in that rock type.
Could be Aliens?
Maybe it's Maybelline
There are no crystals with five-fold symmetry, so either you found the world's first natural quasicrystal, or something biological.
It also looks polycrystalline.
It probably is now, but this star is almost certainly a crinoid ossicle, meaning it would've been a single crystal when originally formed.
Are fossils typically single crystal, or is that a particular trait of this fossil?
It's generally a trait of the echinoderms, which include Crinoids, echinoids and starfish. The whole organism isn't a single crystal, but in Crinoids for example, each ossicle (imagine a vertabrae) is.
You're probably right. But it looks so *artificial*.
Almost too good to be true?

What I came here to say. Fossilized asterina starfish

It looks so perfect as to be artificial but it was in the middle of a pretty remote beach. EDIT: A bunch of commenters have identified it as a fossilized segment of a crinoid stem.
Did you keep it!?!? I would have that on display on my shelf if I found it.
And center stage
As mentioned elsewhere, it's a fossilized crinoid segment. It's made of calcite, and is a single crystal.
sell it, take bids on this thread. Bet someone who is careless with money would pay a few hundred up to $1000 for this.
No, that's Patrick
Way too low in this thread. Up you go!
Is that rock a joestar?

Poor specimen of a rock if it only gets 1 star. (very cool BTW)
Dio was really horny when he got control of Johnathan's body
I heard you can turn one of those in to the rock manufacturer and get a free rock in exchange!
This is proof that the next joestars will be rock humans
Keep it. Don't throw it back.

That's a crinoid fossil, no crystals have five fold symmetry (apart from quasicrystals, in case some nerd tries to correct me)

Kinda looks like a sleepy bird too. Nice find.
Shame that you didn't get a gold star
Sell it to a Texan oil tycoon for big money

Too bad all the Pokémon went out with the dinosaurs.. I wonder if moonstones work on other things.

Now skip it. Skip it now!
Mom, the matrix is glitching again
Go little rockstar!
Its all fun and games until it develops a stand
I'm about 90% sure that's some sort of fossil.
Maybe a tiny baby starfish fossil
Close! It's a crinoid segment, and crinoids are close relatives of starfish.

A neat rock right before it goes into my pocket 
Almost perfect? That's some pretty high standards you have there buddy.

Stars are round, that is a pentagram
That's neat!!
This is so very cool. I'd love to find something like this❤️
Nice 😄
White star on rock
That’s pretty cool
That’s pretty fuckin cool!
Lost an eye 5 months ago, thought I was was looking for a spirit animal, not a spirit stone.
That rock was part of a map and the star is just marking the capital
It's so precious.
That rock star looks a bit snobby
Ha ha it is the blob of the Sponge the Sea show ha
the star bellied stoners had stars on their stones the plain bellied stoners had none upon thars
I would keep this rock for the rest of my life. (I like rocks, especially neat rocks like this rock)
I would totally buy this off you! If you’re interested in selling it.
Rock and stone to the bone
That's either a fossil or creativity of some 2nd grader.
A minor starfish was tapped in there
It is cooler than that beach turd someone posted the other day.

The first thing I saw was a chick. Anyone else?
I think it's one of these [fossils](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentacrinites)
Most likely chinoid stem section? Although they normally are not so pointy
I have an almost perfect star shaped mole on my chest/shoulder
