What is this??

[jraven]

Found this on the beach. Any one know what it is??

 

[checkmate]

It's kinda hard to tell because the pic is so huge. A colored rock of some sort?

 

[CRUSADER]

Alien egg

 

[Copperhead]

Shrunk it down a little for ya....BTW....welcome to Tnet

ps...no idea what it is..

 

[stoney56]

Polished amethyst maybe.

 

[jraven]

Thank you. Some one said it might be sea glass? With the cracks and all..

 

[Ron B]

An old jelly bean from GW's rear skindo pocket?

It's quite possible that wave action and beach sand polished some glass and left some cracks but they also look similar to inclusions.

 

[jraven]

what do you mean by inclusions

 

[jraven]

oops srry about the large pics

 

[vic910]

Looks to me like some kind of colored quartz or some kind of rock thats been tumbled in a rock tumbler rather than the sea. JMHO

I may have misused the word inclusion. I was referring to the cracks or in gemology, it's called fractures.

 

[jraven]

Oh okay. I thought it might have been a tumbled rock, but i didn't think they had cracks.

 

[swimmer]

Use it as a back-massager!

 

[Illinois Jeff]

cool find...are those little specks i see in the smaller picture gold in color?

 

[jraven]

No, I think its the reflection from the light.

Was thinking it had been tumbled as well.

 

[RUDY2003]

Looks like a nice tumbled stone from a necklace... er uh...OK an alien egg...
Keep safe...

 

[Prober]

Thought maybe it was Barney's egg but now that you show it next to a dime that can't be...the purple dino is too big to have an egg that small.

 

[panzermeyer]

Grape Jelly Bean ?

Looks tastey
