This is my first ever contest. Maybe next time I'll put up a coconut geode for a contest. I cut and tumbled this over a year ago. Takila picked it out for the contest, so if you don't like it tell her! I don't even know what kind of rock it is. The part on the bottom is actually clear not silver. Anyway, name this thing then I'll pick 5 names and then post a vote. The deadline for submitting names will be Sunday night (8-19-07) at 9:pm central time, then I'll post a vote on the 5 names that will end Friday the 24th at 9:pm. NEWS FLASH: Nephrite told me he is going to make a Jade base for this shape to fit in, so there will also be a Jade base included in this contest for the winner, a collaborated effort going on here. Give it up for Tony everyone.... Here is the rock,  |

Woo-Hoo!!! Gotta love all these contests, and Thanks E-dog, for your 1st ever contest. What a cool-looking piece, it almost looks like Dryhead Agate to me. Let's ask Mel!

I just looked at Mels photos and it does look like a Dryhead Agate.

Thanks for the contest, Edog! First class cab for your first contest! I rotated the picture and a seahorse that is hatching an egg appeared to me pretty clear. Just have a look:  As I know, male seahorses hatch the eggs, so I name this cab: [glow=red,2,300]Mr. Seahorse[/glow] Adrian PS. Also thanks to Tony. This way mr. Seahorse could swim into the ocean of jade. |

It looks like an exray of someone trying to pass a kidney stone, you can see the waves of pain radiating from where it got stuck, so....
PASS THE KIDNEY STONE PLEASE

The first thing that came to my mind was: Polly wants a cracker. NOW, dammit!
So, I'm going to go with "Polly Puredread".
Sweet piece.

I don't know; it says Easter Island to me, right side up or upside down. Go figure.
Either that or Quatzlcoatl.
Altho I do see the egg, Adrian!
The Easter Isle folks always have seemed to be saying "Hmmmmm" which is too tame for this rock!
So, Quetzalcoatl Feeds
I spelled it correctly, that time.

Thanks EDog for the contest!
I normally try for quite calming names but this time with all the screaming pink/red I thought of:
Drunken Haze!
Kudos to Tony too for the jade base
