Since everyone here has been sooooo outstanding to me in the help department I have decided to give something back as I can... by way of a contest. ok, I have an interesting specimen of minerals and the first person to guess what it is as a whole will win a prize.... a large Double Thunder Egg uncut. Hint, back in the 80's this stuff was very popular in the north east, you could find it everywhere. Funny considering it was found in my laundry room here in Florida.. it must have been more widely available than I thought. and, yes, it is man made!! I even uploaded a video through photobucket.com to allow you the chance to see how light affects it..... Contest ends either when someone gets it right or Friday night 10 pm EST!!. 51 second video, and as a bonus you get to hear my melodious voice!!! HA!!! regular pictures Good Luck all. next contest will be for a piece of Red Amethyst I think!! stay tuned!!

Not Terraflex, is it? (Asbestos) I have SEEN this stuff lately.
Oh nevermind, I saw some pictures labeled that, but upon googling, it doesn't come up.
