    Greetings Antiquers,
    This is One of the More Interesting Stones I have found.
    The stone measures one inch long.
    Does anyone have an idea of what these are?
    On the stone's backside, created by shadows (?), there is an image of a feline or canine?
    I have examined the stone, using a jeweler's loupe, and it is not man made.
    Sea Cucumber? Sponge?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks. 20181113_123525~2.jpg 20181113_124108~4.jpg 20181113_135839~2.jpg 20181113_135839~2.jpg 20181113_123525~2.jpg

    Don't know, but you can click the edit option at the bottom of the post and delete the duplicates.

    It's a single click to add a photo, so if you're double clicking, that adds it twice.

    I don't think that's a fossil. Is the stone amber?

    Very interesting.

    The common name is red carnelian agate.

    The...um...critter looks like Rin Tin Tin in the first picture; in the second, it's my own cat!

    And the other side is really weird!

    Instead of just a catseye, it's a whole cat!

    A nice agate with a natural bit of chalcedon that looks like Garfield

    Yes, it's carnelian agate. Makes great rings but very cool in the natural state...

    And carnelian rings make great stands for small objects with round bases.:)

    That's a great idea! I've got a lot of carnelian in its natural state. It's pretty common in S. Sumatra. People sell it on the side of the road. Beautiful stuff... IMG_20180918_113812334-01~2.jpg
