[QUOTE="Elliott, post: 417006, member: 12547"] Thank you for the information Lefty!! I suppose me asking 'what is this' might seem daft to those who know better, or maybe find this sort of thing common, but I am truly fascinated by what I see. It's great to be able to put a name to it and then do some of my own research into what it is and how it's formed :) I'm surprised by this find because I've really never found anything in our creek beyond some really beautiful petrified wood... It spurs me on to do some more scratching around but there are sooo many tree roots where I found this piece, it's not funny - lots of hills though, probably got washed out over the years and deposited hmmm. You mention it could be worth doing something with - what kinds of things would you do with something like this? I'm curious :) There is a mountain range 15 minutes from me I would love to go back to and dig around on. It's owned by someone we sold some property for and I was there for coffee one day - you could kick around in untouched hillside and find huge chunks of bubbly quartz and agate just waiting to be plucked... The ranges look like ancient volcanic formations, I can only imagine what might be lurking further down :o [/QUOTE]
