Just hang'in out today checking out some of my FDC's.
This one caught my eye for minerals!
It is quite attractive and a bit odd possibly?
I didn't know that petrified wood was a mineral?
Cool stuff!

From Wikipedia;
Petrified wood (from the Latin root petro meaning "rock" or "stone"; literally "wood turned into stone") is the name given to a special type of fossilized remains of terrestrial vegetation.Petrifaction is the result of a tree or tree-like plants having been replaced by stone via a mineralization process that often includes permineralization and replacement.

Generally the mineral in question is a cryptocrystalline form of silicon dioxide. Silicon dioxide is better known as quartz.

looks good enough to eat to me but it is not a piece of cheesecake, it is a Red agate and White Opal with Botryodial Chalcedony; it was found in Central Nevada.

This agate and opal photo has also been floating around over the last several days. The “graham cracker crust” almost looks too good to be true; wonder if it is Photoshopped?

If I ever visit the UK, perhaps I should say, "Bartender, give me a half silicon dioxide!"

In paleontology circles, I believe these are classified as "coprolite"....
