A geologist found the stone in Brazil and when he broke it, he was amazed. He received huge offers for it.

Geologist Mike Bowers found in Soledade, a town in the Rio Grande region of Brazil, a most peculiar piece of volcanic rock.

It is an egg-shaped stone that has gone viral due to the image inside. You can see the great resemblance of the interior of the stone with the “cookie monster”, one of the animated characters from “Sesame Street”.

The man has already received numerous offers from fans who want to get hold of the peculiar rock (Mike Bowers Facebook).

“I think this is probably the most perfect Cookie Monster out there. I’ve seen others but here it is complete. Lucas Fassari is actually the one who found it,” Bowers describes in his Facebook post.

an agate rock

The stone is actually an agate rock, a semi-precious mineral formed after the expulsion of magma and volcanic lava and, after cooling, in contact with the outside air, creates various shapes. The cavities are formed by gas bubbles in hot lava.

In this case, the famous character has been formed by deep blue quartz crystals forming what would be equivalent to the face, and two circular pieces of rock forming its eyes.

Another unique feature of this agate is that the face appears on both sides of the carved stone. Usually the voids are not aligned well enough to create a mirror image.

The man has already received numerous offers from fans who want to get their hands on the peculiar rock, some reaching as much as $10,000.

For now, Bowers said, he plans to keep the stone but does not rule out that it could end up in a museum or in the hands of a high-end collector.
