Whaddaya mean there's no "hooch" in it? Cheesy
Well it has a lot of fantastic petrified agatized coral in it! Love the stuff!
Here's a pretty little specimen I was taking pics of and thought I'd share. I "spot-lighted" with a flashlight for the two interior shots.

Joe,  Great specimen and great photos of the outside coral shape and interior agate/chalcedony structures.

Ok my face when I saw the 3rd pic was probably like a group of kids when the magician pulls a rabbit out of his hat! (I’m using my phone so I don’t see them all at first, I have to scroll down)

That’s the coolest thing I have maybe ever seen! I think because it was so unexpected.

Fantastic!!

HA!
Yes, dude, I was going for all the "pop" I could get with that flashlight.
Glad you enjoyed it! Smiley
Beautiful coral and don't forget that is a very small piece. It commonly gets to be 1-2 feet across! 12 - 24".
