This is a cool looking one I like. This has been an enlightening thread, I'm seeing and learning about some things I had no idea about. That makes me a winner already.

Edit: It's sunstone by the way.

Here I am... late again... LOL!! But at least I'm only entering once every 24hrs.

And speaking of late... it looks like somebody (Pharaoh) already beat me to this, but they didn't explain exactly WHAT it was!!

Yes, that's right... it's Dinosaur Poop... (or Dino Dung)!! Paleontologists and the rather more specialized Paleoscatologists, learn a lot about the eating habits of the Dinos from it... and sometimes, through the natural process of mineralization, it turns into gem quality rainbow jasper & agate in a large variety of colors and patterns!!
